Network DNS Configuration
The Network Properties dialog box has two tabs: IP and DNS. Click the DNS tab
to view the Network Properties DNS dialog box (Figure 5-15). Use the Network
Properties DNS dialog box to enable the DNS Client on the switch and the DNS
server to map domain names to IP addresses. Table 5-5 describes the network
DNS configuration parameters.
Discovery Choose one of the following methods for assigning the IP
address:
 Static—uses the IP configuration parameters entered in the
Network Properties dialog box
 DHCPv6 (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version
6)—acquires the IP configuration from a DHCP server. If no
satisfactory lease is obtained, the DHCP client attempts to
use the previously configured lease. If the previous lease
cannot be used, no IP address is assigned to this switch to
avoid an IP address conflict.
 NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol)—part of the Stateless
Address Auto configuration protocol. It replaces the Address
Resolution Protocol used with IPv4.
Config IPv6 Address Enter the IPv6 address for the Ethernet port.
Gateway Enter the IPv6 gateway address
