This section describes how to configure an IP interface for management
access to the switch over the network. This switch supports both IP Version
4 and Version 6, and can be managed simultaneously through either of
these address types. You can manually configure a specific IPv4 or IPv6
address or direct the switch to obtain an IPv4 address from a DHCP server
when it is powered on. An IPv6 address can either be manually configured
or dynamically generated.
