Setting the Switch’s IP Address (IP Version 6)
– 463 –
known as EUI-48 format), it must be converted into EUI-64 format by
inverting the universal/local bit in the address and inserting the
hexadecimal number FFFE between the upper and lower three bytes of
the MAC address.
For example, if a device had an EUI-48 address of 28-9F-18-1C-82-35,
the global/local bit must first be inverted to meet EUI-64 requirements
(i.e., 1 for globally defined addresses and 0 for locally defined
addresses), changing 28 to 2A. Then the two bytes FFFE are inserted
between the OUI (i.e., organizationally unique identifier, or company
identifier) and the rest of the address, resulting in a modified EUI-64
interface identifier of 2A-9F-18-FF-FE-1C-82-35.
■
This host addressing method allows the same interface identifier to be
used on multiple IP interfaces of a single device, as long as those
interfaces are attached to different subnets.
■
Link Local – Configures an IPv6 link-local address.
■
The address prefix must be in the range of FE80~FEBF.
■
You can configure only one link-local address per interface.
■
The specified address replaces a link-local address that was
automatically generated for the interface.
◆
IPv6 Address – IPv6 address assigned to this interface.
Web Interface
To configure an IPv6 address:
1.
Click System, IPv6 Configuration.
2.
Select Add IPv6 Address from the Action list.
3.
Specify the VLAN to configure, select the address type, and then enter an IPv6
address and prefix length.
4.
