Setting Description
IP Address (IPv6) Specifies how the system obtains an IP address.
• Obtain IP address automatically — Select if the
system gets an IP address automatically. DHCP is not
currently supported for IPv6. When you choose this
setting, the system uses Stateless Address
Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) to obtain a global address,
unique local address (ULA), or site-local address using
router advertisements. The network routers also must be
configured appropriately to provide the advertisement
packets.
• Enter IP address manually — Select if the IP address
will not be assigned automatically.
• Off — Select to disable IPv6.
Changing this setting causes the system to restart.
Link-Local Displays the IPv6 address used for local communication
within a subnet.
Site-Local Displays the IPv6 address used for communication within
the site or organization.
Global Address Displays the IPv6 internet address.
Default Gateway Displays the gateway currently assigned to the system.

Host Name Indicates the system's DNS name.
Changing this setting causes the system to restart.
Note: Although HDX systems have a limited ability to
dynamically register a host name to a DNS server, many
DNS server deployments do not allow this type of
registration. If you intend to reach the HDX system by using
its DNS host name, you must manually register that name
with the DNS server that serves the DNS domain where the
HDX system is located.
Domain Name Displays the domain name currently assigned to the system.
If the system does not automatically obtain a domain name,
enter one here.
