System Settings

This page shows the summary of general system information for the switch including the system information, IP settings, ARP settings, system time, and Neighbor Discovery Table.

System Information

Items	Descriptions
System Name	Configures/Displays the system name of the device.
System Location	Configures/Displays the installed location of the device.
System Contact	Configures/Displays the contact info of the installed device.

IP Settings

The IP Settings tab contains fields for assigning IP addresses and Management VLAN. IP addresses are either defined as static or are retrieved using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). DHCP assigns dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. DHCP ensures that network devices can have a different IP address every time the device connects to the network.

IPv4 Management

Items	Descriptions
VLAN	Configure/Displays the management VLAN for the device.
Address	Displays the IP address of the device.
Subnet Mask	Displays the subnet mask of the device.
Configuration	Configures/Displays IP settings by DHCP or Static.

Click the Apply button to apply the changes or the Reset button to discard them.

IPv6 Management

Items	Descriptions
VLAN	Configure/Displays the management VLAN for the device.
Address	Displays the IPv6 address of the device.
Prefix Length	Displays the prefix length of the device's IPv6 address.
Address Type	Displays address type of this IPv6 address.

Click the Apply button to apply the changes or the Reset button to discard them.

IPv4 Network

Items	Descriptions
VLAN ID	Select the VLAN ID for the IPv4 network.
Address	Enter the IP address of the added network.
Subnet Mask	Enter the subnet mask of the added network.

Click the Apply button to apply the changes or the Reset button to discard them.

IPv6 Network

Items	Descriptions
VLAN ID	Select the VLAN ID for the IPv6 network.
Address	Enter the IP address of the
Prefix Length	Enter the prefix length of the added network.

ARP Settings

ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is used to discover link layer address (like MAC address) associated with a given Internet layer address, typically an IPv4 address.

Global Settings

Items	Descriptions
Max Retries	Configures/Displays the max times for the ARP Retry.
Timeout	Configures/Displays the value of the ARP Timeout.

Click the Apply button to apply the changes or the Reset button to discard them.

ARP Table

Items	Descriptions
Address	Displays the IP address for the found device.
MAC	Displays the MAC address of the associated IP address.
Interface	Displays the interface for the found IP address.
Mapping	Displays the mapping method for the found IP address.

ARP Statistics

The list will show ARP statistics of the system for total and respective specific types.

System Time

Use the System Time screen to view and adjust date and time settings. The switch supports Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). SNTP ensures accurate network device clock time synchronization up to the millisecond. Time synchronization is performed by a network SNTP server. This switch operates only as an SNTP client and cannot provide time services to other systems.

Items	Descriptions
Current time	Displays the current system time.
Enable SNTP	Select whether to enable or disable system time synchronization with an SNTP server.
Time Zone	Configure the time zone setting either by setting GMT difference or by country.
Daylight Savings Time	Select from Disabled, Recurring or Non-recurring.
Daylight Savings Time Offset	Enter the time of Daylight Savings Time Offset.
Recurring From	Select the Day, Week, Month, and Hour from the list.
Recurring To	Select the Day, Week, Month, and Hour from the list.
SNTP/NTP Server Address	Enter the IP address or hostname of the SNTP/NTP server.
Server Port	Enter the server port of the SNTP/NTP server.

To configure date/time through SNTP:

1. Next to the Enable SNTP, select Enable.

2. In the Time Zone Offset list, select by country or by the GMT time zone where the switch is located.

3. Next select Disabled, Recurring, or Non-Recurring for Daylight Savings Time. Daylight saving is a period from late Spring to early Fall when many countries set their clocks forward or backward by one hour to give more daytime light in the evening.

4. In the SNTP/NTP Server Address field, enter the IP address or the host name of the SNTP/NTP server.

5. Finally, enter the port number on the SNTP server to which SNTP requests are sent. The valid range is from 1–65535. The default is: 123.

6. Click Apply to update the system settings.

To configure date/time manually:

1. Next to the Enable SNTP, select Disable.

2. In the Manual Time field, use the drop-down boxes to manually select the date and time you wish to set.

3. In the Time Zone Offset list, select by country or by the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC/GMT) time zone in which the switch is located.

4. Next select Disabled, Recurring or Non-recurring for Daylight Savings Time. Daylight saving is a period from late Spring to early Fall when many countries set their clocks forward or backward by one hour to give more daytime light in the evening.

5. Click Apply to update the system settings.

Neighbor Discovery Table

This list shows IPv6 neighbors where the switch uses NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol) to determine the Layer 2 MAC addresses for neighboring hosts.
