Some platforms have a built-in service port that can serve as a dedicated network management interface. For systems that have the service port, the Service Port IPv4 Configuration page allows you to configure network information for the switch.
To access this page, click in the navigation menu.
Service Port IPv4 Configuration Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| IPv4 Fields: These display IPv4 configuration information. | |
| Service Port Configuration Protocol | Specify what the switch should do following power-up. The factory default is None. The options are as follows:
|
| IP Address | The IP address of the network interface. The factory
default value is 0.0.0.0. Each part of the IP address must start with a number other than zero. For example, IP addresses 001.100.192.6 and 192.001.10.3 are not valid. |
| Subnet Mask | The IP subnet mask for the interface. The factory default value is 0.0.0.0. |
| Default Gateway | The default gateway for the IP interface. The factory default value is 0.0.0.0. |
| Burned-in MAC Address | This read-only field displays the MAC address that is burned-in to the network card at the factory. This MAC address is used for in-band connectivity if you choose not to configure a locally administered address. |
| IPv6 Fields: If the system supports IPv6, these fields display IPv6 configuration information. | |
| IPv6 Mode | Enables or disables IPv6 mode on the interface. |
| Service Port Configuration Protocol | Specify what the switch should do following power-up. The factory default is None. The options are as follows:
|
| IPv6 Stateless Address AutoConfig Mode | Enables or disables the IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration on the management port. The factory default is None. |
| Change IPv6 Gateway | Select the checkbox to configure an IPv6 address. |
| IPv6 Gateway | Enter the IPv6 gateway address (do not include a prefix). |
| Add/Delete IPv6 Address | Select to add or remove IPv6 Addresses. The fields New IPv6 Address and EUI Flag are visible when Add is selected from this menu. |
| New IPv6 Address | Displays when Add IPv6 Address is selected. Adds IPv6 address. |
| EUI Flag | Displays when Add IPv6 Address is selected. Sets the EUI flag while configuring a new IPv6 address when TRUE is selected. The default is FALSE. |
| IPv6 Addresses | Displays IPv6 addresses. |
| Default Routers | Displays the address(es) entered in the IPv6 Gateway field. |
To renew the IPv4 address learned from a DHCP server on the service port, click Renew DHCP IPv4 Address.
If you change any of the parameters, click Submit to apply the changes to the system. If you want the switch to retain the new values across a power cycle, you must save the configuration.
