Automatic Address Assignment
Addresses can be assigned automatically when a router is found that offers one or more prefixes.
Automatically assigned addresses are routable. Each router-supplied prefix is combined with 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
•
Embedded Web Server
Enabling/Disabling Automatic Address Assignment with the Control Panel
To set the Interface ID on the control panel:
1. Select Printer Setup > Connection Setup > Network Setup > TCP/IPv6 Setup, then press
the OK button.
2. Select Auto Assign, then press the OK button to turn Auto Assign On or Off.
Enabling/Disabling Automatic Address Assignment with the EWS
To set the Interface ID with the EWS:
1. Launch your Web browser.
2. Enter your printer’s IP address in the browser’s Address field.
3. Click Properties.
4. Select the Protocols folder on the left navigation panel, then click TCP/IP.
5. Click the TCP/IP (v6) button.
6. Select/deselect Use router supplied prefixes.
7. Click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.
DHCPv6
DHCPv6 is used to acquire TCP/IP information.
The following DHCPv6 options are available in the EWS:
•
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.
