Table 22 describes the attributes in the General TCP/IPv6 Configuration table.

Table 22. General TCP/IPv6 Configuration

Attribute

Description

Address Auto Configuration

Enables or disables IPv6 address auto-configuration of the Dell DPI. If
auto-configuration is enabled, the DPI searches for a “Router Advertisement” message
to perform stateless auto-configuration. If no “Router Advertisement” message is found
on the same link or the same subnet, the DPI performs a stateful auto-configuration
using DHCPv6. Select Enabled or Disabled from the list.
NOTE: Always set this value to Disabled if you are configuring TCP/IPv4.

Address Status

READ ONLY. Displays the status of Dell DPI IPv6 global address as valid or invalid.
Valid status means the IPv6 global address is ensured uniquely and can be used for
network communication. If IPv6 auto-configuration is enabled and successfully
auto-configures the IPv6 global address, the status reported in this field is Valid.
If the IPv6 auto-configuration fails, or if auto-configuration is disabled and manual
configuration fails, the status reported in this field is Invalid.
NOTE: The IPv6 link-local address is always valid on the same link or subnet.

Link-Local Address

READ ONLY. The IPv6 link-local address of the Dell DPI.

Global Address

IPv6 global address of the Dell DPI, such as 2001:B181:2::2E0:D8FF:FEFF:8A59.

Global Prefix Length

Prefix length of Dell DPI IPv6 global address.
NOTE: If the prefix is 2001:B181:2::/64, the prefix length is 64. Normally, the prefix
length is limited to 0 to 64.

Default Router Address

IPv6 address of Dell DPI default router.
