This section describes how to configure an initial IPv6 interface for
management access over the network, or for creating an interface to
multiple subnets. This switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6, and can be
managed through either of these address types. For information on
configuring the switch with an IPv4 address, see
"Setting the Switch’s IP
Address (IP Version 4)" on page 447

◆
IPv6 includes two distinct address types – link-local unicast and global
unicast. A link-local address makes the switch accessible over IPv6 for
all devices attached to the same local subnet. Management traffic using
this kind of address cannot be passed by any router outside of the
subnet. A link-local address is easy to set up, and may be useful for
simple networks or basic troubleshooting tasks. However, to connect to
a larger network with multiple segments, the switch must be configured
with a global unicast address.
◆
An IPv6 global unicast or link-local address can be manually configured
(using the Add IPv6 Address page), or a link-local address can be
dynamically generated (using the Configure Interface page).

Default Gateway
– Sets the IPv6 address of the default next hop
router to use when no routing information is known about an IPv6
address.
■
If no routing protocol is enabled or static route defined, you must
define a gateway if the target device is located in a different subnet.
