Port Speed
Path: Administration > Network > Port Speed
The
Port Speed
setting defines the communication speed of the TCP/IP port.
• For Auto-negotiation (the default), Ethernet devices negotiate to transmit at the highest possible
speed, but if the supported speeds of two devices are unmatched, the slower speed is used.
• Alternatively, you can choose 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, each with the option of half-duplex
(communication in only one direction at a time) or full-duplex (communication in both directions
on the same channel simultaneously).

Ping Response
Path: Administration > Network > Ping Response
• Select the Enable check box for IPv4 Ping Response to allow the NMC to respond to network
pings. Clear the check box to disable an NMC response. This does not apply to IPv6.
Setting
Description
Enable
Enable or disable IPv6 with this check box.
Manual
Configure IPv6 manually by entering the IP address and the default gateway.
Auto
Configuration
When the Auto Configuration check box is selected, the system obtains addressing prefixes
from the router (if available). It uses those prefixes to automatically configure IPv6 addresses.

Router Controlled: Selecting this option means that DHCPv6 is controlled by the
Managed(M) and Other(O) flags received in IPv6 router advertisements. When a router
advertisement is received, the NMC checks whether the M or the O flag is set. The NMC
interprets the state of the M (Managed Address Configuration Flag) and O (Other Stateful
Configuration Flag) "bits" for the following cases:
