Setting Ipv6 Address - Canon imageRUNNER 2545i System Settings Manual

Setting IPv6 Address

This section describes how to set the IPv6 addresses from the control panel. After
configuring the TCP/IPv6 settings, make sure that the network connections are
properly set. (See "Checking the Network Connection," on p. 2-22.)
With IPv6 communication, multiple IPv6 addresses can be used at the same time.
The machine can use up to seven of the following IPv6 addresses:
• Link local address (1)
2
An address that is only valid within a subnet or link. A link local address is
automatically set using a specific prefix (fe80::) and an interface identifier
generated from the MAC address of the machine. When the machine is using the
functions of IPv6, one link local address is always registered.
• Manual address (0 or 1)
A fixed address that is set from the control panel.
• Stateless address (0 to 6)
A stateless address is automatically set using the machine's MAC address and
the prefix (information indicating the network belonged to) included in the RA
(Router Advertisement) notified by the router when the machine is started.
• Stateful address (0 or 1)
A stateful address can be obtained from a DHCP server using DHCPv6.
IMPORTANT
• You should always use the functions of IPv4 even when using that of IPv6.
• You can specify an IPv6 address from the machine's control panel in abbreviated form,
but it cannot be displayed on the touch panel display in abbreviated form.
