Configure IPv6 Global Settings
You can configure IPv6 routing parameters for the switch, as opposed to for an interface.
To configure IPv6 global settings:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch on page 14.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’s password in the Password field.
The default password is password.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select Routing> IPv6 > Basic > Global Configuration.
The IPv6 Global Configuration page displays.
6. Next to IPv6 Unicast Routing, select the Enable radio button to globally enable IPv6 unicast
routing.
By default, the Disable radio button is selected.
7. In the IPv6 Hop Limit field, enter a value for the unicast hop count used in IPv6 packets
originated by the node.
