Ipv6 Autoconfig - Billion BiPAC 7401VGP R3 User Manual

IPv6 Autoconfig

The IPv6 address composes of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID.
BiPAC 7401VGP R3 dynamically configure IPv6 address on host with Stateless auto-configuration
mode. Stateless auto-configuration requires no manual configuration of hosts, minimal (if any)
configuration of routers, and no additional servers. The stateless mechanism allows a host to
generate its own addresses using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and
information(prefix) advertised by routers. Routers advertise prefixes that identify the subnet(s)
associated with a link, while hosts generate an "interface identifier" that uniquely identifies an
interface on a subnet. An address is formed by combining the two. When using stateless
configuration, you needn't configure anything on the client.
Link Local Address: the Link local address for this device.
Dynamic IPv6 Address: this field displays the dynamic obtained IPv6 address if you haven't set
static IPv6 address.
Interface Address/Prefix length: enter the static LAN IPv6 address.
Issue Router Advertisements: check whether to enable issue Router Advertisement feature. It is to
send Router Advertisement messages periodically.
