Use the IP > IPv6 Configuration (Configure Interface) page to configure
general IPv6 settings for the selected VLAN, including auto-configuration of
a global unicast interface address, and explicit configuration of a link local
interface address, the MTU size, and neighbor discovery protocol settings
for duplicate address detection and the neighbor solicitation interval.

The switch must be configured with a link-local address. The switch’s
address auto-configuration function will automatically create a link-local
address, as well as an IPv6 global address if router advertisements are
detected on the local interface.
•
The option to explicitly enable IPv6 creates a link-local address, but will
not generate a global IPv6 address if auto-configuration is not enabled.
In this case, you can manually configure a global unicast address (see
“Configuring an IPv6 Address” on page 597
).
•
IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol supersedes IPv4 Address Resolution
Protocol in IPv6 networks. IPv6 nodes on the same network segment
use Neighbor Discovery to discover each other's presence, to determine
each other's link-layer addresses, to find routers and to maintain
reachability information about the paths to active neighbors. The key
parameters used to facilitate this process are the number of attempts
made to verify whether or not a duplicate address exists on the same
network segment, and the interval between neighbor solicitations used
to verify reachability information.

VLAN Mode
•
VLAN
– ID of a configured VLAN which is to be used for management
access, or as a standard interface for a subnet. By default, all ports on
the switch are members of VLAN 1. However, the management station
can be attached to a port belonging to any VLAN, as long as that VLAN
has been assigned an IP address. (Range: 1-4094)
