Retrieve An Ipv6 Address - DataCard SD260L User Manual

Retrieve an IPv6 Address

A printer on an IPv6 network can be configured to use one of the following methods, depending
on how the network is set up:
Link Local IPv6 address: The printer and PC clients are restricted to the same subnet. Link

local is enabled automatically when IPv6 is enabled and offers the best security for your
network.
DHCPv6: A DHCPv6 server is externally configured to give out an IPv6 address.

Stateless Address AutoConfiguration (SLAAC): One or more routers with IPv6 enabled on the

subnet give out a subnet prefix that allows access to IP addresses.
Manual IPv6 Address: The printer has a designated IPv6 address on a specified subnet. The

address does not change without manual intervention. This is similar to an IPv4 static IP
address.
The method used is enabled or disabled using the LCD Configuration menu. Refer to the printer's
Installation and Administrator's Guide for more information about enabling IPv6.
