Ipv6 Network Configuration - NETGEAR S3300 User Manual

IPv6 Network Configuration

Use the IPv6 Network Configuration screen to configure the IPv6 network interface, which is
the logical interface used for in-band connectivity with the switch through all 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 initially configure the switch with IPv6
information (IPv6 prefix, prefix length, and default gateway). IPv6 can be configured using
any of the following options:
• IPv6 auto configuration
• DHCPv6
When in-band connectivity is established, IPv6 information can be changed using
SNMP-based management or web-based management

To configure the network information for an IPv6 network:
1. Select System > Management > IPv6 Network Configuration.
Figure 29. IPv6 Network Configuration
2. Next to Admin Mode, ensure that the Enable radio button is selected.
3. Determine how the switch acquires an IPv6 address:
• IPv6 Address Auto Configuration Mode. When this mode is enabled, the network
interface can acquire an IPv6 address through IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol
(NDP) and through the use of router advertisement messages. When this mode is
disabled, the network interface will not use the native IPv6 address auto configuration
