Viewing and Adding IPv6 Neighbors

When IPv6 management is enabled, the switch identifies IPv6-enabled devices on attached links. The switch supports the discovery of up to 1,000 dynamic IPv6 neighbors and supports the static configuration of IPv6 neighbors.

The IPv6 Neighbors page lists dynamically discovered and statically configured neighbors, and enables adding static hosts.

To view the IPv6 neighbor Table, click Administration > Management Interface > IPv6 Neighbors in the navigation window.

The IPv6 Neighbor Table displays the following fields for each dynamic entry:

IPv6 Address—IPv6 address of neighbor.

MAC Address—MAC address of the neighbor.

State—State of the neighbor. The following are the states for dynamic entries:

-Reachable—Confirmation was received within a preconfigured interval that the forward path to the neighbor is functioning properly. While in the Reachable state, the device takes no special action as packets are sent.

-Delay—More time has elapsed than a preconfigured interval since the last confirmation was received that the forward path was functioning properly.

Age Updated—The time in seconds that has elapsed since an entry was added to the cache.

Type—Neighbor discovery cache information entry type (static or dynamic).

You can click Clear Dynamic Neighbors to clear the table.

Adding Static IPv6 Neighbors

The switch supports up to 16 static IPv6 neighbor entries. To add a static neighbor:

STEP 1 Click Add.

STEP 2 Enter an IPv6 global address (not including a prefix length).

STEP 3 Enter the MAC address of the neighbor.

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.
