TCP/IP(v6)
Use the TCP/IP(v6) tab to enable IPv6 operation, view IPv6 auto-configuration addresses, or manually
configure IPv6 addresses. For basic information on IPv6 addresses on the print server, see
TCP/IP
Configuration
. For additional parameters that can be configured, see the
Advanced
tab.
Table 4-6
TCP/IP(v6) tab
Item
Description
IPv6 Enable
Enter a check mark in this checkbox to enable IPv6 operation. Clear this checkbox to
disable IPv6.
Link-Local Address
(Read only parameter) This item specifies the print server's IPv6 link-local address and
prefix length. Like other IPv6 hosts, the print server configures this address
automatically. The link-local address allows the print server to communicate with other
IPv6 hosts on the local link without routers.
Stateless Addresses
(Read only parameters) The stateless addresses (and prefix lengths) configured on the
print server are listed. Stateless addresses are assigned under the control of a router.
DHCPv6 Addresses
This section allows you to configure the DHCPv6 policy that the print server uses for
stateful addresses, assigned by a DHCPv6 server.
To set the DHCPv6 policy, select one of the following:
●
Perform DHCPv6 only when requested by a router
: Allow the router to control
stateful addressing.
●
Perform DHCPv6 when stateless configuration is unsuccessful
: Attempt to
use DHCPv6 if stateless addressing by a router fails.
●
Always perform DHCPv6 on startup
: The print server should always attempt
DHCPv6 for configuration each time it is powered on.
If DHCPv6 is used for stateful addressing, the addresses (and associated prefixes)
configured on the print server will be listed.
Manual Address
Use this section to manually configure an IPv6 address on the print server, and to enable
or disable the address.
Check the
Enable
checkbox to enable an IPv6 address that has been manually
configured. Clear this checkbox to disable the address, which is the default setting.
Use the
Address
and
Prefix length
fields to enter an IPv6 address and its prefix length.
If IPv6 address prefixes (for example, supplied by a router) have been stored on the
print server, you can select a prefix from the
Prefix
field, and then click
Add
to copy the
prefix into the
Address
field. Then enter the remainder of the address.
Config Precedence
This page is used to specify the methods of print server configuration that take precedence over other
configuration methods. For example, if a network administrator wants to ensure that IPv4 parameters
configured by a TFTP server cannot be overwritten through a manual configuration method (such as
the printer control panel, Telnet, or embedded Web server), the administrator can use this page to
indicate that TFTP takes precedence over manual configuration.
The factory-default precedence order is indicated below.
