compressed version of the same IPv6 address is

The static IPv6 address for the IPv6

this setting and, if configured, via
Router Advertisements from IPv6 routers

on the management network. If Router

Advertisements provide IPv6 gateway
configuration, their gateway

configuration overrides the static IPv6

gateway setting. The IPv6 gateway
currently in use by the Onboard

Administrator is displayed in the

Current Default Gateway field on the

dynamically assigned IP address might
change.
