Figure 278: Configuring General Settings for an IPv6 Interface
Use the IP > IPv6 Configuration (Add IPv6 Address) page to configure an
initial IPv6 interface for management access over the network, or for
creating an interface to multiple subnets.

All IPv6 addresses must be formatted according to RFC 2373 "IPv6
u
Addressing Architecture," using 8 colon-separated 16-bit hexadecimal
values. One double colon may be used in the address to indicate the
appropriate number of zeros required to fill the undefined fields.
The switch must always be configured with a link-local address.

Therefore, explicitly enabling IPv6 (see
Settings" on page 472) or manually assigning a global unicast address
will also automatically generate a link-local unicast address. The prefix
length for a link-local address is fixed at 64 bits, and the host portion of
the default address is based on the modified EUI-64 (Extended
Universal Identifier) form of the interface identifier (i.e., the physical
MAC address). Alternatively, you can manually configure the link-local
address by entering the full address with the network prefix FE80.
To connect to a larger network with multiple subnets, you must

configure a global unicast address. There are several alternatives to
configuring this address type:
It can be manually configured by specifying the entire network

prefix and prefix length, and using the EUI-64 form of the interface
