Chapter 5: System Configuration
Figure 5-9. The IPv6 Configuration screen.
Parameter Description
Auto Configuration: Enable IPv6 auto-configuration by checking this box. If this fails, the configured IPv6 address is zero. The
router may delay responding to a router solicitation for a few seconds, so the total time needed to complete auto-configuration
can be significantly longer.
Address: Provide the IPv6 address of this switch. IPv6 address is in 128-bit records represented as eight fields of up to four
hexadecimal digits with a colon separating each field (:). For example, “fe80::215:c5ff:fe03:4dc7.” The symbol “::” is a special
syntax that can be used as a shorthand way of representing multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous zeros; but it can only appear
once. It can also represent a legally valid IPv4 address. For example, “::192.1.2.34.”
Prefix: Provide the IPv6 prefix of this switch. The allowed range is 1 to 128.
Gateway: Provide the IPv6 gateway address of this switch. IPv6 address is in 128-bit records represented as eight fields of up to
four hexadecimal digits with a colon separating each field (:). For example, “fe80::215:c5ff:fe03:4dc7'.” The symbol “::” is a
special syntax that can be used as a shorthand way of representing multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous zeros; but it can only
appear once. It can also represent a legally valid IPv4 address. For example, “::192.1.2.34.”
5.5 Syslog
The Syslog is a standard for logging program messages. It allows separation of the software that generates messages from the
system that stores them and the software that reports and analyzes them. It can be used for general information, analysis, and
debugging messages. It is supported by a wide variety of devices and receivers across multiple platforms.
5.5.1 Configuration
This section describes how to configure the system log and provide a wide variety of devices and receivers across multiple
platforms.
Web Interface
To configure Syslog configuration in the Web interface:
1. Click “System,” “Syslog.”
2. Specify the syslog parameters, including the Syslog server’s IP Address and Port number.
3. Enable Sylog.
4. Click “Save.”
