Using the Operation Panel
TCP/IP (IPv6)
(IPv6 settings)
This selects the settings for TCP/IP (IPv6).
TCP/IP (IPv6) is based on the current Internet protocol, TCP/IP (IPv4).
IPv6 is the next-generation Internet protocol and expands the available
address space, which resolves the problem of the lack of addresses
under IPv4, while also introducing other improvements such as additional
security functionality and the capacity to prioritize data transmission.
The options available in the TCP/IP (IPv6) settings are as follows:
• RA (Stateless) (RA (Stateless) setting)
• DHCPv6 (DHCPv6 setting)
IMPORTANT
The
RA (Stateless)
and DHCPv6 menu options for TCP/
IP (IPv6) are displayed when TCP/IP (IPv6) is enabled.

RA (Stateless) (RA (Stateless) setting)
The IPv6 router communicates (transmits) information such as the global
address prefix using ICMPv6. This information is the Router
Advertisement (RA).
ICMPv6 stands for Internet Control Message Protocol, and is a IPv6
standard defined in the RFC 2463 "Internet Control Message Protocol
(ICMPv6) for the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Specification".

DHCPv6 (DHCPv6 setting)
DHCPv6 is the next-generation of the Internet's Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol and supports IPv6. It extends the BOOTP startup
protocol that defines the protocols used for transferring configuration
information to hosts on the network.
DHCPv6 permits the DHCP server to use its expanded functionality to
send configuration parameters to an IPv6 node. Because the network
addresses that can be used are allocated automatically, the IPv6 node
management workload is reduced in systems where the administrator
has to exercise close control over IP address allocation.
