◆ The switch must be configured with a link-local address. The switch's
address auto-configuration function will automatically create a link-local
address, as well as an IPv6 global address if router advertisements are
detected on the local interface.
◆ The option to explicitly enable IPv6 creates a link-local address, but will
not generate a global IPv6 address if auto-configuration is not enabled.
In this case, you can manually configure a global unicast address (see
"Configuring an IPv6 Address" on page
IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol supersedes IPv4 Address Resolution
◆
Protocol in IPv6 networks. IPv6 nodes on the same network segment
use Neighbor Discovery to discover each other's presence, to determine
each other's link-layer addresses, to find routers and to maintain
reachability information about the paths to active neighbors. The key
parameters used to facilitate this process are the number of attempts
made to verify whether or not a duplicate address exists on the same
network segment, and the interval between neighbor solicitations used
to verify reachability information.

VLAN Mode
◆ VLAN – ID of a configured VLAN which is to be used for management
access, or as a standard interface for a subnet. By default, all ports on
the switch are members of VLAN 1. However, the management station
can be attached to a port belonging to any VLAN, as long as that VLAN
has been assigned an IP address. (Range: 1-4094)
Address Autoconfig – Enables stateless autoconfiguration of an IPv6
◆
address on an interface and enables IPv6 functionality on that
interface. The network portion of the address is based on prefixes
received in IPv6 router advertisement messages, and the host portion
is automatically generated using the modified EUI-64 form of the
interface identifier (i.e., the switch's MAC address).
If a link local address has not yet been assigned to this interface,
■
this command will dynamically generate one. The link-local address
is made with an address prefix in the range of FE80~FEBF and a
host portion based the switch's MAC address in modified EUI-64
format. It will also generate a global unicast address if a global
prefix is included in received router advertisements.
When DHCPv6 is started, the switch may attempt to acquire an IP
■
address prefix through stateful address autoconfiguration. If router
advertisements have the "other stateful configuration" flag set, the
switch will attempt to acquire other non-address configuration
information (such as a default gateway).
If auto-configuration is not selected, then an address must be
■
manually configured using the Add Interface page described below.
