Description

Auto Configuration

Enable IPv6 auto-configuration by checking this box.

If it fails, the configured IPv6 address is zero. The router may delay responding to

a router solicitation for a few seconds; the total time needed to complete

auto-configuration can be significantly longer.

IPv6 Address

Provide the IPv6 address of this switch.

IPv6 address is in 128-bit records represented as eight fields of up to four

hexadecimal digits with a colon separating each field (:). For example,

'fe80::215:c5ff:fe03:4dc7'.

The symbol '::' is a special syntax that can be used as a shorthand way of

representing multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous zeros; but it can only appear

once. It also uses the following legally IPv4 address. For example, '::192.1.2.34'.

Provide the IPv6 Prefix of this switch. The allowed range is 1 through 128.

Gateway

Provide the IPv6 gateway address of this switch.

DHCPv6 Client

To enable this LRP Managed Switch to accept a configuration from a Dynamic

Host Configuration Protocol version 6 (DHCPv6) server. By default, the LRP

Managed Switch does not perform DHCPv6 client actions. DHCPv6 clients

request the delegation of long-lived prefixes that they can push to individual local

hosts.
