3 To add a new IPv6 interface, click Add IPv6 Interface, and enter the fields:

Interface — Select an IPv6 interface to be configured.

Number of DAD Attempts — Enter the number of consecutive

neighbor solicitation messages that are sent on an interface while

Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) is performed on Unicast IPv6

addresses on this interface. New addresses remain in a tentative state

while duplicate address detection is performed. A field value of 0,

disables duplicate address detection processing on the specified

interface. A field value of 1, indicates a single transmission without

follow up transmissions.

Autoconfiguration — Enable/disable stateless auto configuration of

IPv6 address assignment. When enabled, the router solicitation ND

procedure is initiated. This discovers a router in order to assign an IP

address to the interface, based on prefixes received with RA messages.

When auto configuration is disabled, no automatic assignment of

IPv6 global Unicast addresses is performed, and existing,

automatically-assigned IPv6 global Unicast addresses are removed

from the interface.

Send ICMP Unreachable — Enable/disable transmission of ICMPv6

address Unreachable messages. When enabled, unreachable messages

are generated for any packet arriving on the interface with unassigned

TCP/UDP port.

4 To add an address to an IPv6 interface, click Add IPv6 Address, and enter

the fields for the selected interface:

IPv6 Address Type — Check the means by which the IP address was

added to the interface. The possible options are:

Link Local — The IP address is link local; non-routable and can

be used for communication on the same network only. A Link

Local address has a prefix of 'FE80'.

Global Unicast — The IP address is a globally unique IPv6

Unicast address; visible and reachable from different subnets.

Global Anycast — The IP address is a globally unique IPv6

Anycast address; visible and reachable from different subnets.
