the Interface ID to create an address. The use of router-supplied prefixes is enabled by default.
To enable/disable automatic address assignment, use one of the following options:
•
The printer’s control panel

DHCPv6
DHCPv6 is used to acquire TCP/IP information.
The following DHCPv6 options are available in the Embedded Web Server:
•
As directed by the router
- DHCPv6 is performed according to values in a router
advertisement. This is the default setting.
•
Always, for all configuration options (stateful)
- Stateful DHCPv6 is always attempted,
and router flags related to how to perform DHCP are ignored. Configuration options and an
IPv6 address will be accepted if DHCPv6 is successful.
•
Always, for all configuration options except address (stateless)
- Stateless DHCPv6 is
always attempted, and router flags related to how to perform DHCP will be ignored.
Configuration options will be accepted if DHCPv6 is successful, but no IPv6 address will be
assigned.
•
Never
- DHCPv6 is not used even if directed to do so by a router.
