IPv6 Autoconfig

The IPv6 address composes of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID.
BiPAC 7402NX(L) 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.
