4.3.5.2 IPv6
Use the IPv6 Network Connectivity page to configure and view IPv6 information on
the network interface. The network interface is the logical interface that allows remote
management of the device via any of the front-panel switch ports. To enable manage-
ment of the device over an IPv6 network by using a Web browser, SNMP, Telnet, or
SSH, you must first configure the device with the appropriate IPv6 information. The
configuration parameters associated with the network interface do not affect the con-
figuration of the front-panel ports through which traffic is switched or routed.
To access this page, click System > Connectivity > IPv6.
Figure 4.88 System > Connectivity > IPv6
The following table describes the items in the previous figure.
Locally Administered
MAC Address You may configure a locally administered MAC address for in-band
connectivity instead of using the burned in universally administered
MAC address. In addition to entering an address in this field, you must
also set the MAC address type to locally administered. Enter the
address as twelve hexadecimal digits (6 bytes) with a colon between
each byte. Bit 6 of byte 0 must be set to 1 and bit 0 to 0, i.e. byte 0
must have a value of 2, 6, A or E for its second digit.
Management VLAN
ID The VLAN ID for the management VLAN. Some network administra-
tors use a management VLAN to isolate system management traffic
from end-user data traffic.

client on the network interface.
IPv6 Stateless
Address AutoConfig
Mode Sets the IPv6 stateless address auto configuration mode on the net-
work interface.

Enabled: The network interface can acquire an IPv6 address
through IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) and through
the use of Router Advertisement messages.

Disabled: The network interface will not use the native IPv6
address auto configuration features to acquire an IPv6 address.
DHCPv6 Client DUID The client identifier used by the DHCPv6 client (if enabled) when
sending messages to the DHCPv6 server.
IPv6 Gateway The default gateway for the IPv6 network interface. To configure this
field, click button in the row. To reset the field to the default value,
