IPv6 Address
(Global)"
IPv6 address with global scope that is generated by address autoconfiguration. The
address is generated from a combination of router advertisements and MAC
address to create a unique IPv6 address. This field is read only.
Note: This field will not appear in the absence of an IPv6 global address.
IPv6 Address
(Link Local)
An IPv6 address that is intended only for communications within the segment of a
local network. This field is read only.
Mode Select the direction, duplex mode (full duplex or half-duplex), and speed (10, 100,
or 1000 Mbit) of data transmission. The default is Auto, which allows the Ethernet
port to auto-negotiate the speed and duplex with the hardware endpoint to which it
is connected.
MTU Specifies the maximum transmission unit (MTU) or maximum packet size of
packets at the IP layer (OSI layer 3) for the Ethernet port. When fragmenting a
datagram, this is the largest number of bytes that can be used in a packet.
HW Address Displays the hardware address of the Ethernet port.
Multicast Displays the multicast address of the Ethernet port.
Enable IPv6 Select this box to enable the IPv6 protocol. If changed, the SLC unit will need to
reboot. Enabled by default.
Ethernet Bonding Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2 can be bonded to support redundancy (Active Backup),
aggregation (802.3ad), and load balancing. Disabled by default. Note that if
Ethernet Bonding is enabled, assigning individual IP Addresses to Device Ports is
not supported.
SFP NIC Info &
Diagnostics (Link)
Clicking the link brings you to the Network Settings > SFP NIC Information &
Diagnostics page showing information and diagnostics about the SFP connection
port, temperature, voltage, current, output power, input power, LOS, and TX fault.
Click Back to Network Settings to return to the Network > Network Settings page.
Note: The SFP NIC Info & Diagnostics link in the Network > Network Settings
page only appears in SLC units equipped with an SFP NIC board.
Ethernet Bonding
Status (Link)
Click the link to access Ethernet bonding status information. Ethernet 1 and
Ethernet 2 can be bonded to support redundancy (Active Backup), aggregation
(802.3ad), and load balancing. Disabled by default. Note that if Ethernet Bonding is
enabled, assigning individual IP Addresses to Device Ports is not supported.
Click Back to Network Settings link to return to the Network Settings page.
Prefer IPv4 DNS
Records
If enabled, IPv4 DNS records will be preferred when DNS hostname lookups are
performed. Otherwise IPv6 records will be preferred (when IPv6 is enabled).
Enabled by default.
Enable IP Forwarding If enabled, IP forwarding enables IPv4 network traffic received on one interface
(Eth1, Eth2, or an external/USB modem attached to the SLC unit with an active
PPP connection) to be transferred out another interface (any of the above). The
default behavior (if IP forwarding is disabled) is for network traffic to be received but
not routed to another destination.
Enabling IP forwarding is required if you enable Network Address Translation
(NAT) for any device port modem or USB/ISDN modem. IP forwarding allows a
user accessing the SLC 8000 advanced console manager over a modem to access
the network connected to Eth1 or Eth2.
Enable IPv6
Forwarding
If enabled, IPv6 forwarding enables IPv6 network traffic received on one interface
(Eth1, Eth2, or an external/USB modem attached to the SLC unit with an active
PPP connection) to be transferred out another interface (any of the above). The
default behavior (if IP forwarding is disabled) is for network traffic to be received but
not routed to another destination.
