Each field is described in the following table.
8.2.1 Edit Ethernet
This screen lets you configure IP address assignment and interface parameters. To access this
screen, select an interface and click its Edit icon in the Ethernet screen.
Note: If you create IP address objects based on an interface’s IP address, subnet, or
gateway, the NXC automatically updates every rule or setting that uses the object
whenever the interface’s IP address settings change. For example, if you change
LAN’s IP address, the NXC automatically updates the corresponding interface-
based, LAN subnet address object.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
Configuration/IPv6
Configuration
Use the Configuration section for IPv4 network settings. Use the IPv6 Configuration
section for IPv6 network settings if you connect your NXC to an IPv6 network. Both
sections have similar fields as described below.

the entry’s settings.

use the entry.
# This field is a sequential value, and it is not associated with any interface.
Status This icon is lit when the entry is active and dimmed when the entry is inactive.
Name This field displays the name of the interface.
IP Address This field displays the current IP address of the interface. If the IP address is 0.0.0.0 (in
the IPv4 network) or :: (in the IPv6 network), the interface does not have an IP address
yet.
In the IPv4 network, this screen also shows whether the IP address is a static IP
address (STATIC) or dynamically assigned (DHCP).
In the IPv6 network, this screen also shows whether the IP address is a static IP
address (STATIC), link-local IP address (LINK LOCAL), dynamically assigned (DHCP),
or an IPv6 StateLess Address AutoConfiguration IP address (SLAAC). See Appendix E
on page 440 for more information about IPv6.
Mask This field displays the interface’s subnet mask in dot decimal notation.
PVID This field indicates the interface’s PVID.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the NXC.
