Send ICMP Unreachable — Enable/disable transmission of ICMPv6
–
address Unreachable messages. When enabled, unreachable messages
are generated for any packet arriving on the interface with unassigned
TCP/UDP port.
4 To add an address to an IPv6 interface, click Add IPv6 Address, and enter
the fields for the selected interface:
– IPv6 Address Type — Check the means by which the IP address was
added to the interface. The possible options are:
• Link Local — The IP address is link local; non-routable and can
be used for communication on the same network only. A Link
Local address has a prefix of 'FE80'.
• Global Unicast — The IP address is a globally unique IPv6
Unicast address; visible and reachable from different subnets.
• Global Anycast — The IP address is a globally unique IPv6
Anycast address; visible and reachable from different subnets.
– IPv6 Address — Enter the IPv6 address assigned to the interface. The
address must be a valid IPv6 address, specified in hexadecimal using
16-bit values between colons. An example of an IPv6 address is
2031:0:130F:0:0:9C0:876A:130D and the compressed version is
represented as 2031:0:130F::9C0:876A:130D. Up to five IPv6
addresses (not including Link Local addresses) can be set per
interface, with the limitation of up to128 addresses per system.
– Prefix Length — For global Unicast or Anycast, enter the length of the
IPv6 prefix. The length is a decimal value that indicates how many of
the high-order contiguous bits of the address comprise the prefix (the
network portion of the address). The Prefix field is applicable only on a
static IPv6 address defined as a
– EUI-64 — For global Unicast or Anycast, check to use the EUI-64
option.
