Global IPv6 Address (GUA) is used to communicate with on-link
neighbors and for global communication with hosts outside the
subnet.

Mode
None disables the Global IPv6 Address and the Default Gateway
Address
.
Stateless Auto (default) allows automatic generation of the IPv6
address based on the Link-Local address interface ID and the
prefix obtained from the router advertisements. If no Interface ID
has been obtained for the
Link Local Address,
the global address
will not be generated.
Static
allows to enter the IP address.

Address , available with Static mode, allows to select the Global
IPv6 Address
. The accepted range is from
0000:0000:0000:0000::[Interface ID] to
FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF::[Interface ID]
. The default address is
2001:0000:0000:0000::[Interface ID] , where [ Interface ID ] is
generated from the source MAC address. When the
Address
field
is selected for editing using virtual keyboard, the Previous IPs
button appears allowing to select a previously configured IP
address.


, available when the
Source Global IPv6
Address mode is Static , allows to couple the interface ID of the
Global address to the Link-Local source address.

address is configurable, and the 64 bit (LSB) Interface ID is not
configurable (read-only).
