Set your IPv6 settings

System > L3 Feature > IPv6 Interface
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a new IP protocol designed to replace IP version 4
(IPv4). The IPv6 address protocol meets the current requirements of new applications
and the never ending growth of the Internet. The IPv6 address space makes more
addresses available but it must be approached with careful planning. Successful
deployment of IPv6 can be achieved with existing IPv4 infrastructures. With proper
planning and design, the transition between IP version 4 and 6 is possible today as well.
Use the IPv6 Interface page to configure the IPv6 network interface, which is the logical
interface used for in-band connectivity with the switch via 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.
1. Log into your switch management page (see
on page 5).
2. Click on System, L3 Feature, and then IPv6 Interface.
3. To create a new entry per VLAN, type the VLAN number you would like to create,
then click Add. To view a specific VLAN ID's configuration, enter the VLAN ID into the
Interface VLAN field and then click Find.
4. To change the IPv6 IP address associated with a specific VLAN, click on Detail within
the lower table.


Interface: Displays the VLAN that is currently being configured.

State: Select Enabled to enable IPv6 on this VLAN, and Disabled to disable on
this VLAN.

DHCPv6 Client: Select Enabled to automatically obtain the IPv6 address from
the DHCP server on the network, select Disabled to manually specify an IPv6
Address.

Rapid Commit: You can configure the switch to support the DHCPv6 Rapid
Commit option (DHCPv6 option 14). The server and client then use a two-
message exchange (Solicit and Reply) to configure clients, rather than the
default four-message exchange (Solicit, Advertise, Request, and Reply). The
two-message exchange provides faster client configuration, and is beneficial in
environments in which networks are under a heavy load.

IPv6 Address: Enter the full IPv6 address you would like to specify for this
connection.
