To define an IPv6 interface:
STEP 1
In Layer 2 mode, click
Administration
>
Management Interface
>
IPv6 Interface
.
In Layer 3 mode, click
IP Configuration
>
Management and IP Interface
>
IPv6
Interface
.
The
IPv6 Interface
page opens.
This page displays the IPv6 interfaces already configured.
STEP 2
Click
Add
to add a new interface on which interface IPv6 is enabled.
STEP 3
The
Add IPv6 Interface
page
opens.
STEP 4
Enter the values.
•
IPv6 Interface
—Select a specific port, LAG, VLAN, or ISATAP tunnel.
•
Number of DAD Attempts
—Enter the number of consecutive neighbor
solicitation messages that are sent while Duplicate Address Detection (DAD)
is performed on the interface’s Unicast IPv6 addresses. DAD verifies the
uniqueness of a new Unicast IPv6 address before it is assigned. New
addresses remain in a tentative state during DAD verification. Entering
0
in
this field disables duplicate address detection processing on the specified
interface. Entering
1
in this field indicates a single transmission without
follow-up transmissions.
•
IPv6 Address Auto Configuration
—Enable automatic address
configuration from the DHCP server. If enabled, the switch supports IPv6
stateless address auto configuration of site local and global IP address from
the IPv6 router advertisement received on the interface. The switch does not
support stateful address auto configuration. If not supported, define an IPv6
address from the
IPv6 Addresses
page.
•
Send ICMPv6 Messages
—Enable generating unreachable destination
messages.
STEP 5
Click
Apply
to enable IPv6 processing on the selected interface. Regular IPv6
interfaces have the following addresses automatically configured:
•
Link local address using EUI-64 format interface ID based on a device’s MAC
address
•
All node link local Multicast addresses (FF02::1)
•
Solicited-Node Multicast address (format FF02::1:FFXX:XXXX)
