Description
Allows the user to enable or disable DHCPv6.
When DHCPv6 is enabled, the DHCPv6 server assigns the phone
an IPv6 address. When DHCPv6 is disabled, the administrator
must assign the IPv6 address.
Note Unlike DHCPv4, even DHCPv6 is disabled the phone
can still generate a Stateless address autoconfiguration
(SLAAC) address if autoconfigure is enabled.
Displays the current IPv6 address of the phone or allows the user
to enter a new IPv6 address.
Two address formats are supported:
• Eight sets of hexadecimal digits separated by colons
X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X
• Compressed format to collapse a single run of consecutive
zero groups into a single group represented by a double
colon.
If the IP address is assigned with this option, you must also assign
the IPv6 prefix length and the default router.
Displays the current prefix length for the subnet or allows the
user to enter a new prefix length.
The subnet prefix length is a decimal value from 1-128.
