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. De-select 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. De-select
the option to set the flag to 0 and the host will not use DHCPv6 to obtain additional
configuration settings.
Minimum Interval
Specify the minimum time interval (from 3 to 1350 seconds) at which the Switch sends
router advertisements for this interface.
Note: The minimum time interval cannot be greater than three-quarters of the
maximum time interval.
Maximum Interval
Specify the maximum time interval (from 4 to 1800 seconds) at which the Switch sends
router advertisements for this interface.
Lifetime
Specify how long (from 0 to 9000 seconds) the router in router advertisements can be used
as a default router for this interface.
Suppress
Enable the switch button to set the Switch to not send router advertisements and
responses to router solicitations on this interface.
