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.

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.

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.
Click the Add button to add an entry or the Refresh button to update the table.
Click the Move to Static button to Turn the dynamic MAC address into a static address or Delete button to remove the ARP Table profile.
Dynamic ARP Entry: A mapping of IP address to MAC address that is automatically learned by a network device through the ARP process.
Static ARP Entry: A mapping of IP addresses to MAC addresses that a network administrator manually configures. Unlike dynamic ARP entries, which are automatically learned and can be aged out of the ARP table, static ARP entries remain in the ARP table until they are manually removed.
The list will show ARP statistics of the system for total and respective specific types.
A gratuitous ARP packet is a special type of ARP packet that a host generates and broadcasts to other devices on the network. It is used to announce or update the host's IP-to-MAC address mapping in the ARP cache tables of connected devices.
This occurs when a system undergoes a change in IP address, which may invalidate its ARP mapping learned by other hosts.
Item
Description
G-ARP Settings
These setting allow the device to send G-ARP requests and record information about G-ARP.
Last IP Duplicate Information
This section shows the latest duplicated IP address was detected.
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.
Item
Description
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:
Next to the Enable SNTP, select Enable.
In the Time Zone Offset list, select by country or by the GMT time zone where the switch is located.
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.
In the SNTP/NTP Server Address field, enter the IP address or the host name of the SNTP/NTP server.
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.
Click Apply to update the system settings.
To configure date/time manually:
Next to the Enable SNTP, select Disable.
In the Manual Time field, use the drop-down boxes to manually select the date and time you wish to set.
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.
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.
Click Apply to update the system settings.
This list shows IPv6 neighbors where the switch uses NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol) to determine the Layer 2 MAC addresses for neighboring hosts.
Click the Add button to add an entry or the Refresh button to update the table.
Click the Delete button to remove the NDP entry profile.
The Neighbor Discovery Protocol table shows all active IPv6 neighbors. The table includes the following neighbor states:
REACHABLE: The neighbor was reachable..
STALE: The neighbor's reachability is unknown.
STATIC: The neighbor was manually set as a static neighbor.
