IPv6 Address
To define the IPv6 address on an IPv6 interface:
1
Click

>
IPv6 Address
.
2
Click

.

To enable IPv6 support on this interface, click
Edit, Add
and enter the
following fields:
–
Interface
— Select the interface for the address to be defined on.
–
IPv6 Address Type
— Select the type of IP address added to the
interface. The possible options are:
•
Link Local
— The IP address is link local; non-routable and can
be used for communication on the same network only. A Link
Local address has a prefix of 'FE80'.
•
Global
— The IP address is a globally unique IPv6 address; visible
and reachable from other subnets
.
–
IP Address
— Enter the IPv6 address assigned to the interface. The
address must be a valid IPv6 address, specified in hexadecimal using
16-bit values between colons. An example of an IPv6 address is
2031:0:130F:0:0:9C0:876A:130D and the compressed version is
represented as 2031:0:130F::9C0:876A:130D. Up to five IPv6
addresses (not including Link Local addresses) can be set per
interface, with the limitation of up to128 addresses per system.
–
Prefix Length
— For global Unicast or Anycast, enter the length of the
IPv6 prefix. The length is a decimal value that indicates how many of
the high-order contiguous bits of the address comprise the prefix (the
network portion of the address). The Prefix field is applicable only on a
static IPv6 address defined as a
Global IPv6
address.
–
EUI-64
— For global Unicast or Anycast, select to enable the EUI-64
option, which disables the Prefix Length text box.
