Configure the IPv6 network settings for the local browser
interface
You can configure IPv6 network information for the local browser interface, which is the
logical interface used for in-band connectivity with the switch through any of the switch’s
front-panel ports.
To access the switch over an IPv6 network, you must initially configure the switch with IPv6
information (an IPv6 prefix, prefix length, and default gateway). You can configure IPv6 using
one of the following options:
•
IPv6 auto-configuration
•
DHCPv6
When in-band connectivity is established, IPv6 information can be changed using
SNMP-based management or web-based management.
To configure the IPv6 network settings for the local browser interface:
1.
