ProSAFE Dual-Band Wireless AC Access Points WAC720 and WAC730

Configure IPv6 Settings

The wireless access point supports IPv6. You can manage the wireless access point from an
IPv6 address. The wireless access point can also function as an IPv6 DHCP client.
Note: For information about how to configure the IPv4 settings, see
Configure the IPv4 Settings
WARNING:
If you enable the DHCP client, the IP address of the wireless access
point changes when you click the Apply button, causing you to lose
your connection to the wireless access point. You then must use
the new IP address to reconnect to the wireless access point.
Tip: If you enable the DHCP client on the wireless access point, you can
discover the new IP address of the wireless access point by
accessing the DHCP server on your LAN, or by using a network IP
address scanner application.
To configure the IPv6 settings:

1. Select Configuration > IP > IPv6 Settings.
2. Configure the IPv6 settings as explained in the following table:
Setting
DHCP Client
on page 18.
Description
By default, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client is disabled. If
your LAN includes a DHCPv6 server and you select the Enable radio button, the
wireless access point receives its dynamic IPv6 address, prefix length, and
default gateway settings automatically from the DHCPv6 server on your network
when you connect the wireless access point to your LAN.
