Setting the Interface ID

Your IPv6-enabled printer has one interface with multiple addresses. The Interface ID is the part of the
address after the prefix. The printer uses the Interface ID when assigning both the Link-Local address
and automatic addresses that use router supplied prefix(es). It is not used in addresses supplied by
DHCPv6. Link-Local addresses are used by nodes to communicate with other nodes on the same local
network. There are two options to set the Interface ID:
• The default is to have the Interface ID automatically computed from the MAC address associated
with the interface. The ID is different for each device. This is the recommended method for setting
the Interface ID.
• The other option is to manually set the interface ID. The Interface ID must be 64 bits (8 bytes) in
length, and must not contain special characters other than colons or valid hexadecimal digits (0
through 9, a through f, or A through F).
Note: If you change the Interface ID, you will be prompted to reset the printer before the changes
take effect.
The Interface ID can only be set in CentreWare IS.
