•DAD Status—The Duplicate Address Detection status. When you configure an IPv6 address on the switch, before the switch actually assigns the address, it performs neighbor discovery to detect if that address is already in use on the network.

-If the address is already in use, its DAD status is True, and the address is not usable for management access.

-If the address is found to be unique, its DAD status is False, and the address can be used for management access.

You can configure multiple IPv6 addresses. Each address should have a different prefix so that the switch can be managed from stations on different subnets. When a route to one subnet fails, the switch can be managed from another subnet.

To add a static IPv6 address:

STEP 1 Click Add.

STEP 2 Enter an IPv6 address followed by a slash (/) and the prefix length.

STEP 3 Select EUI-64if the address conforms to the EUI-64 format, whereby the first three to five octets are the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) and the remaining octets are a unique assigned address.

STEP 4 Click Apply and then click Close. Your changes are saved to the Running Configuration.

IPv6 Default Router Table

When IPv6 management is enabled, the switch uses the IPv6 neighbor discovery process to identify the default router for communicating with devices outside the local IPv6 subnet. The default router in IPv6 networks is similar in function to the default router in IPv4 networks.

The IPv6 Default Router table lists the default router IP address for each IPv6 management address. A default router address consists of the link-local address of the IPv6 interface on the subnet.

SLM2008PTNA specifications

Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is a robust network switch designed specifically for small to medium-sized businesses. It operates with 8 Fast Ethernet ports, providing advanced features and best-in-class performance to enhance your network infrastructure. This model ensures seamless connectivity for multiple devices, making it an ideal choice for environments requiring reliable network communication.

One of the standout features of the SLM2008PTNA is its Layer 2 switching capabilities. This switch supports auto-negotiation, which allows each port to automatically detect the speed of the connected device and adjust accordingly. This ensures optimal performance and smooth operation across various connected devices. Additionally, the switch supports a non-blocking architecture, ensuring that bandwidth is not shared, which significantly enhances data transmission speed.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is another key technology incorporated into the Cisco SLM2008PTNA. It simplifies the installation of network devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points by supplying power through the Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power sources, reducing installation costs and increasing flexibility in device placement.

Moreover, the SLM2008PTNA comes equipped with advanced security features, such as port security and VLAN support. Port security allows network administrators to restrict access to the network based on MAC addresses, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing network security. The support for Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) enables the segmentation of the network into different logical networks, improving traffic management and security within each segment.

The switch is designed for easy management and monitoring, featuring a user-friendly web interface that simplifies configuration. This allows network administrators to quickly set up and manage the device without requiring extensive technical knowledge. Additionally, its compact design makes it suitable for desktop or rack-mount installation, maximizing space efficiency in network environments.

In conclusion, the Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is an essential component for small to medium-sized businesses looking to enhance their network performance. With its Layer 2 switching capabilities, Power over Ethernet support, advanced security features, and ease of management, this switch provides a well-rounded solution for modern networking needs, delivering reliable performance and scalability for growth.
