Applying Changes and Setting IPv6 Address Settings
The
IPv6 Configuration
page enables you to view or edit Internet Protocol (IPv6)
settings such as auto configuration, IPv6 address and gateway.
1.
On the
IP Address Setting
page, enter the following IP address settings:
•
Auto Configuration
: Enables IPv6 auto-configuration. If it fails, the
configured IPv6 address is zero. The router may delay responding to a router
solicitation for a few seconds; the total time needed to complete auto-
configuration can be significantly longer.
•
IPv6 Address:
Displays and gives you the option to edit the IPv6 address
of this switch. IPv6 address is in 128-bit records represented as eight fields
of up to four hexadecimal digits with a colon separating each field (:). For
example: fe80::215:c5ff:fe03:4dc7. The symbol ‘::’ is a special syntax that
can be used as a shorthand way of representing multiple 16-bit groups of
contiguous zeros; but it can only be used once.
•
Gateway:
Displays and gives you the option to change the IPv6 address of
the router.
•
DHCPv6 Client:
Enables this switch to accept a configuration from a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 6 (DHCPv6)
server. By
default, the switch does not perform DHCPv6 client actions. DHCPv6
clients request the delegation of long-lived prefixes that they can push to
individual local hosts.
