IPv6 Network Interface Configuration
To display the IPv6 Network Configuration page, click System > Management > Network
Interface > IPv6 Network Interface Configuration. A screen similar to the following displays.
The IPv6 network interface is the logical interface used for in-band connectivity with the
switch via any 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.
To access the switch over an IPv6 network you must first configure it with IPv6 information
(IPv6 prefix, prefix length, and default gateway). You can configure the IP information using
any of the following:
IPv6 Auto Configuration
•
DHCPv6
•
Terminal interface via the EIA-232 port
•
Once you have established in-band connectivity, you can change the IPv6 information using
any of the following:
Terminal interface via the EIA-232 port
•
Terminal interface via telnet
•
SNMP-based management
•
Web-based management
•
Use Admin Mode to enable or disable the IPv6 network interface on the switch. The
1.
default value is enable.
Use IPv6 Address Auto Configuration Mode to set the IPv6 address for the IPv6 network
2.
interface in auto configuration mode if this option is enabled. The default value is disable.
Auto configuration can be enabled only when IPv6 Auto config or DHCPv6 are not enabled
on any of the management interfaces.
