Setting the Switch’s IP Address (IP Version 6)
– 474 –
While an interface is suspended, all unicast IPv6 addresses assigned
to that interface are placed in a “pending” state. Duplicate address
detection is automatically restarted when the interface is
administratively re-activated.
n
An interface that is re-activated restarts duplicate address detection
for all unicast IPv6 addresses on the interface. While duplicate
address detection is performed on the interface’s link-local address,
the other IPv6 addresses remain in a “tentative” state. If no
duplicate link-local address is found, duplicate address detection is
started for the remaining IPv6 addresses.
n
If a duplicate address is detected, it is set to “duplicate” state, and a
warning message is sent to the console. If a duplicate link-local
address is detected, IPv6 processes are disabled on the interface. If
a duplicate global unicast address is detected, it is not used. All
configuration commands associated with a duplicate address remain
configured while the address is in “duplicate” state.
n
If the link-local address for an interface is changed, duplicate
address detection is performed on the new link-local address, but
not for any of the IPv6 global unicast addresses already associated
with the interface.
u
ND NS Interval – The interval between transmitting IPv6 neighbor
solicitation messages on an interface. (Range: 1000-3600000
milliseconds;
Default: 1000 milliseconds is used for neighbor discovery operations,
0 milliseconds is advertised in router advertisements.
This attribute specifies the interval between transmitting neighbor
solicitation messages when resolving an address, or when probing the
reachability of a neighbor. Therefore, avoid using very short intervals
for normal IPv6 operations.
When a non-default value is configured, the specified interval is used
both for router advertisements and by the router itself.
Restart DHCPv6 – DHCPv6 stateful configuration of IP address prefixes is
not supported in the current software release. If the router advertisements
have the “other stateful configuration” flag set, the switch will attempt to
acquire other non-address configuration information (such as a default
gateway) from a DHCPv6 server.

To general IPv6 settings for the switch:
1. Click IP, IPv6 Configuration.
2. Select Configure Interface from the Action list.
3.
Specify the VLAN to configure,
4. Select Enable IPv6 Explicitly to automatically configure a link-local
address and enable IPv6 on the selected interface. (To manually
configure the link-local address, use the Add IPv6 Address page.) Set
