To access the switch over a IPv6 network, you must initially configure the switch with IPv6
information (IPv6 prefix, prefix length, and default gateway). IPv6 can be configured using any of
the following options:
• IPv6 Auto Configuration
• DHCPv6
When in-band connectivity is established, IPv6 information can be changed using any of the
following:
• SNMP-based management
• Web-based management
To configure the network information for an IPv6 network:
1. Admin Mode. Enable or disable the IPv6 network interface on the switch. The default
value is Enable.
2. IPv6 Address Auto Configuration Mode. The IPv6 address for the IPv6 network interface
is set in auto configuration mode if this option is enabled. The default value is Disable. Auto
configuration can be enabled only when DHCPv6 is not enabled on any of the management
interfaces.
3. Current Network Configuration Protocol. The IPv6 address for the IPv6 network interface
is configured by DHCPv6 protocol if this option is enabled. The default value is None.
DHCPv6 can be enabled only when IPv6 Auto config or DHCPv6 are not enabled on any of
the management interfaces.
4. DHCPv6 Client DUID. Identifier used to identify the client's unique DUID value. This option
only displays when DHCPv6 is enabled.
5. IPv6 Gateway. Specify the gateway for the IPv6 network interface. The gateway address is
in IPv6 global or link-local address format.
