IPv6 Addresses
STEP 1
STEP 2
Cisco Small Business WAP551 and WAP561 Wireless-N Access Point
Select LAN > IPv6 Addresses in the navigation area.
Configure the following settings:
• IPv6 Connection Type—Choose how the WAP device obtains an IPv6
address:
- DHCPv6—The IPv6 address is assigned by a DHCPv6 server.
- Static IPv6—You manually configure the IPv6 address. The IPv6 address
should be in a form similar to xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
(2001:DB8::CAD5:7D91).
• IPv6 Administration Mode—Enables IPv6 management access.
• IPv6 Auto Configuration Administration Mode—Enables IPv6 automatic
address configuration on the WAP device.
When enabled, the WAP device learns its IPv6 addresses and gateway by
processing the Router Advertisements received on the LAN port. The WAP
device can have multiple autoconfigured IPv6 addresses.
• Static IPv6 Address—The static IPv6 address. The WAP device can have a
static IPv6 address even if addresses have already been configured
automatically.
• Static IPv6 Address Prefix Length—The prefix length of the static address,
which is an integer in the range of 0 to 128. The default is 0.
• Static IPv6 Address Status—One of the following values appears:
- Operational—The IP address has been verified as unique on the LAN
and is usable on the interface.
- Tentative—The WAP device initiates a duplicate address detection
(DAD) process automatically when a static IP address is assigned. An
IPv6 address is in the tentative state while it is being verified as unique on
the network. While in this state, the IPv6 address cannot be used to
transmit or receive ordinary traffic.
- Blank (no value)—No IP address is assigned or the assigned address is
not operational.
• IPv6 Autoconfigured Global Addresses—If the WAP device has been
assigned one or more IPv6 addresses automatically, the addresses are
listed.
