Viewing Ethernet Statistics - HP 501 Configuration And Administration Manual

Static IPv6 address prefix length
The prefix length must be an integer in the range from 0 to 128 bits. The prefix length
determines the part of the IPv6 address that identifies the network to which the HP 501 is
attached.
Default IPv6 gateway
The default gateway address for IPv6 traffic destined outside the network.
IPv6 DNS nameservers
You can configure up to two IPv6 DNS nameservers for resolving domain names to IP
addresses. If you select Dynamic, be sure to enable DHCPv6 functionality in the field below.
If you select Manual, enter up to two IPv6 addresses in the text boxes provided.
Static IPv6 address status
The operational status of the static IPv6 address assigned to the HP 501 management interface.
The possible values are as follows:
•
Operational: The IP address has been verified as unique on the LAN and is usable on
the interface.
•
Tentative: The HP 501 initiates a duplicate address detection (DAD) process
automatically when a static IP address is assigned. An IPv6 address is in the tentative state
while it is being verified as unique on the network. While in this state, the IPv6 address
cannot be used to transmit or receive traffic, except to exchange messages with other
network nodes to verify the uniqueness of the address.
•
Blank (no value): No IP address is assigned or the assigned address is not operational.
IPv6 link local address
The IPv6 link local address is the IPv6 address used by the local physical link. The link local
address is not configurable and is assigned by using the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery process.
DHCPv6
In addition to statically configuring IPv6 addresses, you can enable this feature to have IPv6
addresses assigned by a DHCPv6 server on the network.
IPv6 auto configuration
When IPv6 auto configuration is enabled, the HP 501 processes the Router Advertisements
received on the LAN port to determine its IPv6 addresses. The HP 501 can have multiple
autoconfigured IPv6 addresses. The autoconfigured addresses coexist with the statically
configured address. The HP 501 can be accessed using either the statically configured or the
automatically obtained IPv6 address.
IPv6 autoconfigured global addresses
If the HP 501 has been assigned one or more IPv6 addresses automatically, the addresses are
listed.
