How to Configure IPv6 Parameters

IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6) is the successor of the still predominantly used IPv4 (Internet Protocol Version
4). IPv6 offers the same basic functions but has many advantages such as the increased address space of 2
32
(IPv6) instead of 2 (IPv4) IP addresses and auto configuration.
Important:
IPv6 address notation differs from IPv4: An IPv6 address consists of 128 bits. The
normal format of an IPv6 address is eight fields. Each field contains four hexadeci-
mal digits representing 16 bits.
Example:
As a URL in a Web browser, an IPv6 address must be enclosed in square brackets.
This prevents port numbers from being mistakenly regarded as part of an IPv6
address.
Example:
The URL will only be accepted by browsers that support IPv6.
You can embed the UTN server into an IPv6 network.
WARNING
UTN functionality ( 2) and the corresponding SEH UTN Manager only work in
IPv4 networks.
In pure IPv6 networks, it is only possible to access the utnserver Control Center (
9) to administer the UTN server.
The UTN server will automatically receive one or more IPv6 addresses in addition to its IPv4 address. To optimally
embed the UTN into your network, you can configure IPv6 parameters.
1. Start the utnserver Control Center.
2. Select NETWORK – IPv6.
3. Configure the IPv6 parameters; table 3.3-1 24.
4. Click Save & Restart to confirm.
 The settings will be saved.

Description
Enables/disables the IPv6 functionality of the UTN server.
Enables/disables the automatic assignment of the IPv6 address to the UTN
server.
Defines an IPv6 unicast address in the format n:n:n:n:n:n:n:n which is manually
assigned to the UTN server.
• Every 'n' represents the hexadecimal value of one of the eight 16 bit ele-
ments of the address.
• Leading zeros can be omitted.
• An IPv6 address may be entered or displayed using a shortened version
when successive fields contain all zeros (0). In this case, two colons (::) are
used.
Manually defines a static router to which the UTN server sends its requests.
