Description
Auto Configuration
Select this check box to enable IPv6 auto-configuration. If the system cannot
obtain the stateless address in time, the configured IPv6 settings will be used.
The router may delay responding to a router solicitation for a few seconds. The
total time needed to complete auto-configuration can be significantly longer.
Address
Provide the IPv6 address of this switch. IPv6 address is in 128-bit records
represented as eight fields of up to four hexadecimal digits with a colon
separating each field (:). For example, 'fe80::235:c5ff:fe03:4cd7'. The symbol
'::' is a special syntax that can be used as a shorthand way of representing
multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous zeros; but it can appear only once. It can
also represent a legally valid IPv4 address. For example, '::192.1.2.34'.
Prefix
Provide the IPv6 Prefix of this switch. The allowed range is 1 to 128.
Router
Provide the IPv6 gateway address of this switch. IPv6 address is in 128-bit
records represented as eight fields of up to four hexadecimal digits with a
colon separating each field (:). For example, 'fe80::235:c5ff:fe03:4cd7'. The
symbol '::' is a special syntax that can be used as a shorthand way of
representing multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous zeros; but it can appear only
once. It can also represent a legally valid IPv4 address. For example,
'192.1.2.34'.
