DESCRIPTION
Interface
Select the IPv6 interface you want to configure.
Flags
Select the
Managed Config Flag
option to have the Switch set the “managed address
configuration” flag (the M flag) to 1 in IPv6 router advertisements, which means IPv6 hosts
use DHCPv6 to obtain IPv6 stateful addresses. Deselect the option to set the flag to 0 and
the host will not use DHCPv6 to obtain IPv6 stateful addresses.
Select the
Other Config Flag
option to have the Switch set the “Other stateful
configuration” flag (the O flag) to 1 in IPv6 router advertisements, which means IPv6 hosts
use DHCPv6 to obtain additional configuration settings, such as DNS information. Deselect
the option to set the flag to 0 and the host will not use DHCPv6 to obtain additional
configuration settings.
