Ipv6 Autoconfig - Billion BiPAC 6404VGP R3 User Manual

IPv6 Autoconfig

The IPv6 address composes of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID.
BiPAC 6404VGP 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.
