IPv6 Assignment IPv6 Assignment specifies how the IPv6 address is obtained.
Static: Device management IP addressing is configured manually in
fields IPv6 Address and IPv6 Gateway.
DHCPv6: Device management IP addressing (IP address and
gateway) is assigned via a network DHCP server, and parameters
IPv6 Address and IPv6 Gateway are unused. If the DHCPv6 server is
not available previous static IPv6 address will be used as a fallback
IPv6 address. If no previous static IPv6 address is available, no IPv6
address will be assigned. DHCPv6 will occur over the wireless
interface by default.
IPv6 Address Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) address. This address is used by the
family of Internet protocols to uniquely identify this unit on a
network.
IPv6 addresses are represented by eight groups of four hexadecimal
digits separated by colons.
IPv6 Gateway Configure the IPv6 address of the device on the current network that
acts as a gateway. A gateway acts as an entrance and exit to packets
from and to other networks.
Ethernet Port
Security (Slave
Mode only)
Disabled: No MAC address limit / gaining timers are imposed for
bridging at the Slave device Ethernet port.
Enabled: By configuring Secure MAC Limit and MAC Agining Time,
a limit is imposed on the number and duration of bridged devices
connected to the Slave Ethernet port.
Secure MAC Limit
(Slave Mode only)
Configure the number of simultaneous secure MAC addresses that
will be allowed at the Ethernet interface of the Slave
MAC Aging Time
(Slave Mode only)
Configure the time for which the secure MAC addresses should be
allowed to age. Once the Aging timer expires for a MAC address, it
will be removed from the internal table and no longer count as an
active MAC. Set the time to 0 to disable aging.
Virtual Local Area
Newtork (VLAN)
Management VLAN Enabled: The device management interface can be assigned to a
Management VLAN to separate management traffic (remote module
management via SNMP or HTTP) from user traffic (such as internet
browsing, voice, or video. Once the management interface is enabled
for a VLAN, the management interface can be accessed only by
packets tagged with a VLAN ID matching the management VLAN ID.
