Set your IPv6 settings
Network > IP Address
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a new IP protocol designed to replace IP version 4
(IPv4). The IPv6 address protocol meets the current requirements of new applications
and the never ending growth of the Internet. The IPv6 address space makes more
addresses available but it must be approached with careful planning. Successful
deployment of IPv6 can be achieved with existing IPv4 infrastructures. With proper
planning and design, the transition between IP version 4 and 6 is possible today as well.
Use the IPv6 System Settings page to configure the IPv6 network interface, which is the
logical interface used for in-band connectivity with the switch via all of the switch's
front-panel ports. The configuration parameters associated with the switch's network
interface do not affect the configuration of the front-panel ports through which traffic is
switched or routed.
1. Log into your switch management page (see “Access your switch management page”
on page 11).
2. Click on Network and click on IP Address.
3. Review the settings. When you have completed making changes, click Apply to save
the settings.
• Autoconfiguration: By default, the switch is set to obtain IPv6 address settings
automatically via autoconfiguration. Uncheck this option if you would like to
assign static IPv6 address settings.
• DHCPv6 Client: Check this option to set the switch to obtain IPv6 address
settings automatically from the DHCPv6 server on your network Uncheck this
option if you would like to assign static IPv6 address settings.
• IPv6 Address If statically assigning IPv6 address settings, enter the IPv6 address
in the field provided.
• Prefix Length: Enter the prefix length (0-128) in the field provided.
• IPv6 Gateway: Enter the IPv6 default gateway address.
• DNS Server 1: Enter the primary IPv6 DNS server address.
• DNS Server 2: Enter the secondary IPv6 DNS server address.
• Operational Status: This section displays the current IPv4/IPv6 status
information.
o IPv4 Address: Displays the currently assigned IPv4 address.
o IPv4 Default Gateway: Displays the currently assigned IPv4 default
gateway address.
o IPv6 Address: Displays the currently assigned IPv6 address.
o IPv6 Default Gateway: Displays the currently assigned IPv6 default
gateway address.
o Link Local Address: A link-local address is an IPv6 unicast address that
can be automatically configured on any interface using the link-local
prefix FE80::/10 (1111 1110 10) and the interface identifier in the
modified EUI-64 format. Link-local addresses are used in the neighbor
discovery protocol and the stateless autoconfiguration process. Nodes
on a local link can use link-local addresses to communicate; the nodes
do not need globally unique addresses to communicate. IPv6 devices
must not forward packets that have link-local source or destination
addresses to other links.
