interface. The network portion of the address is based on prefixes
received in IPv6 router advertisement messages, and the host portion
is automatically generated using the modified EUI-64 form of the
interface identifier; i.e., the switch's MAC address. (Default: Disabled)
◆
Address – Manually configures a global unicast address by specifying
the full address and network prefix length (in the Prefix field).
(Default: ::192.168.1.1)
◆
Prefix – Defines the prefix length as a decimal value indicating how
many contiguous bits (starting at the left) of the address comprise the
prefix; i.e., the network portion of the address. (Default: 96 bits)
Note that the default prefix length of 96 bits specifies that the first six
colon-separated values comprise the network portion of the address.
◆
Router – Sets the IPv6 address of the default next hop router.
An IPv6 default gateway must be defined if the management station is
located in a different IPv6 segment.
An IPv6 default gateway can only be successfully set when a network
interface that directly connects to the gateway has been configured on
the switch.
