Setting the Interface ID
Your IPv6-enabled printer has one interface with multiple addresses. The Interface ID appears
after the prefix. The printer uses the Interface ID when assigning both the Link-Local address
and automatic addresses that use router-supplied prefix(es). It is not used in addresses supplied
by DHCPv6. Link-Local addresses are used by nodes to communicate with other nodes on the
same local network. There are two ways to set the Interface ID:
■
Automatic
(default): The Interface ID is identified from the MAC address associated with
the interface and different for each device.
■
Manual:
When using this option, verify that the interface ID is 64 bits (8 bytes) and
does not contain certain special characters other than colons or valid hexadecimal digits (0
through 9, a through f, or A through F).
Note:
If you change the Interface ID, you are prompted to reset the printer before the changes
take effect.
The Interface ID can only be set in CentreWare IS.
