Service Port IPv6
Use the Service Port Configuration page to configure IPv6 network information on the service port. The
service port is a dedicated Ethernet port for out-of-band management of the device. Traffic on this port
is segregated from operational network traffic on the switch ports and cannot be switched or routed to
the operational network.
