Figure 2 - 8 IPv6 Interface Settings - Edit window
Description
This field displays the name for the IP interface, or it is used to add a new interface. The
default IP interface is named "System".
The Interface field is used for addresses on the link-local network. It is recommended that
the user enter the specific interface for a link-local IPv6 address. For Global IPv6
addresses, this field may be omitted.
Use this pull-down menu to enable or disable the Automatic Link Local Address. When
enabled, the switch will automatically create an IPv6 link-local address for the switch.
Once the user enables this feature and clicks Apply, an IPv6 address will be produced
based on the MAC address of the switch and the new entry will appear in the following
Link-Local Address field.
This field displays the IPv6 address created automatically by the Switch, based on the
MAC Address of the Switch. This is a site local address used only for local routing.
This field is the unicast address that will be used by the Switch for packets coming from
outside the site-local address, or the public IPv6 address, when connected directly to the
Internet.
