source, it will display the first one it receives, which may
not always be from its link partner.
Furthermore, when AirCheck G2 is not linked directly to a
managed switch that emits these types of packets, but is
instead linked with another switch in between, it will not
reliably receive this switch port information. Most of
these managed switches send these packets as soon as
they detect link establishment, which they cannot do in
this case. However, they may retransmit this information
periodically, which AirCheck G2 will receive and display if
it can.
NOTE:
The switch name may be truncated if it exceeds
the length of the field.

Indicates whether or not a DHCP address was
obtained.
Default Gateway:
Indicates whether or not AirCheck G2 can
ping the default gateway.
