IPv6 Autoconfig
The IPv6 address composes of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID.
BiPAC 6404VGP R3 dynamically configure IPv6 address on host with Stateless auto-configuration mode.
Stateless auto-configuration requires no manual configuration of hosts, minimal (if any) configuration of routers,
and no additional servers. The stateless mechanism allows a host to generate its own addresses using a
combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information(prefix) advertised by routers.
Routers advertise prefixes that identify the subnet(s) associated with a link, while hosts generate an "interface
identifier" that uniquely identifies an interface on a subnet. An address is formed by combining the two. When
using stateless configuration, you needn’t configure anything on the client.
Link Local Address

Dynamic IPv6 Address:
this field displays the dynamic obtained IPv6 address if you haven’t set static IPv6
address.
Interface Address/Prefix length:
enter the static LAN IPv6 address.
Issue Router Advertisements
: check whether to enable issue Router Advertisement feature. It is to send
Router Advertisement messages periodically.
