From this screen you can configure the management network settings for your device.
These settings only affect the device's management port and its ability to communicate
with the SMS. They do not modify filters or otherwise change the way traffic is inspected.
IPv6 is an Internet protocol that uses 128-bit addresses, which increases the number
of possible addresses and adds increased security. Expressed in a series of four-digit
hexadecimal numbers that are separated by colon (:) notation, IPv6 addresses allow
the Internet to grow in terms of connected hosts and data traffic.

NoteIncorrect settings for the default gateway or management port prevent management communication
with the device.
