LEGRAND Server Technology PRO4X User Manual page 423

*You can configure the PRO4X to either "Manual" or "Automatic" IPv6 settings. In manual mode, you
must specify the device's IP address, the default router, the DNS server etc. But when Automatic mode
is selected, the behavior of the PRO4X depends on the configuration of the Router Advertisement (RA)
in the network's router. If the RA contains a Prefix Information that has the "Autonomous address-
configuration flag" set, the PRO4X will use SLAAC and use an IPv6 address based on that Prefix and its
own MAC address. If the RA has the "otherconf" flag set, the PRO4X will also use Stateless DHCP to
retrieve information like a DNS server. If the "managed" flag is set in the RA, Stateful Address Auto
configuration is used via DHCPv6. Both modes (SLAAC and DHCPv6) can be used at the same time.
Setting the IPv6 Preferred Host Name
After selecting DHCP as the IPv6 configuration mode, you can specify the preferred host name, which is
optional. The following is the command:
config:# network ipv6 interface <ETH> preferredHostName <name>
Variables:
• •
<ETH> is one of the network interfaces: ETH1/ETH2, WIRELESS, or BRIDGE. Note that you must
choose/configure the bridge interface if your PRO4X is set to the bridging mode.
Note: In the bridging mode, only the IP parameters of the BRIDGE interface function. The IP
parameters of ETH1/ETH2 and WIRELESS interfaces do NOT function.
Interface Description
eth1 Determine the IPv6 preferred host name of the ETH1 interface (wired
networking).
eth2 Determine the IPv6 preferred host name of the ETH2 interface (wired
networking).
wireless Determine the IPv6 preferred host name of the WIRELESS interface
(that is, wireless networking).
bridge Determine the IPv6 preferred host name of the BRIDGE interface (that
is, bridging mode).
• •
<name> is a host name which:
• • Consists of alphanumeric characters and/or hyphens
• Cannot begin or end with a hyphen •
• Cannot contain more than 63 characters •
• •
Cannot contain punctuation marks, spaces, and other symbols
Setting the IPv6 Address
After selecting the static IP configuration mode, you can use this command to assign a permanent IP
address to the PRO4X.
