Modify

IPv4

Address

DHCP

Configure the way in which the VLAN interface gets an IPv4 address.

 

Allow the VLAN interface to get an IP address automatically by selecting the DHCP or

BOOTP

 

BOOTP option, or manually assign the VLAN interface an IP address by selecting the

 

Manual

Manual option. In the latter case, you must set the mask length or enter a mask in

dotted decimal notation format.

 

 

 

 

Select Up or Down from the Admin Status list to bring up or shut down the selected

 

VLAN interface.

 

When the VLAN interface fails, shut down and then bring up the VLAN interface,

 

which might restore the VLAN interface.

By default, a VLAN interface is down if all Ethernet ports in the VLAN are down.

Admin Otherwise, the VLAN interface is up.

Status

When you set the admin status, follow these guidelines:

•The current VLAN interface state in the Modify IPv4 Address and Modify IPv6 Address frames changes as the VLAN interface state is modified in the Admin Status list.

•The state of each port in the VLAN is independent of the VLAN interface state.

Modify

IPv6

Address

Auto

Configure the way in which the VLAN interface gets an IPv6 link-local address.

Select the Auto or Manual option:

•Auto—The device automatically assigns a link-local address to the VLAN interface

Manual

according to the link-local address prefix (FE80::/64) and the link-layer address of

 

the VLAN interface.

•Manual—Configures an IPv6 link-local address for the VLAN interface manually.

Select Up or Down from the Admin Status list to bring up or shut down the selected VLAN interface.

When the VLAN interface fails, shut down and then enable the VLAN interface, which might restore the VLAN interface.

By default, a VLAN interface is down if all Ethernet ports in the VLAN are down.

Admin Otherwise, the VLAN interface is up.

Status

When you set the admin status, follow these guidelines:

•The current VLAN interface state in the Modify IPv4 Address and Modify IPv6 Address frames changes as the VLAN interface state is modified in the Admin Status list.

•The state of each port in the VLAN is independent of the VLAN interface state.

 

Assign an IPv6 site-local address or global unicast address to the VLAN interface.

Add IPv6

Enter an IPv6 address in the field and select a prefix length in the list next to it.

Unicast

The prefix of the IPv6 address you entered cannot be FE80::/10, the prefix of the

Address

link-local address.

 

The prefix of the IPv6 site-local address you enter must be FEC0::/10.

 

 

 

Select the box to generate IPv6 site-local addresses or global unicast addresses in the

EUI-64

64-bit Extended Unique Identifier (EUI-64) format.

If the EUI-64 box is not specified, manually configured IPv6 site-local addresses or

 

 

global unicast addresses are used.
