1.1.4-2 IPv6
The APS Series switches support both dynamically assigned and statically configured IP Addresses. If
you are running a DHCP server on your network the switch can obtain an IP Address from the DHCP
if DHCP Client is enabled. If not the switches IP settings must be configured manually. Please change
the IP Address of the switch to suit your networks requirements.
Web Interface
To configure the IPv6 settings via the Web Interface:
1. Click System, IP and IPv6.
2. Select Auto Configuration if you wish to obtain an IP Address automatically from a DHCP
Server. Alternatively enter your required IP Settings for your network.
3. Click Save to apply your changes, or Reset to change values back to your previous settings.
Parameter Description
Auto Configuration: Enable the Auto Configuration by checking the tick box. When selected, the
switch will obtain an IP Address from your DHCP Server. If the switch does
not receive an IP Address the Default IP Address will be used.
Address: Enter the required static IPv6 address. An IPv6 address is a 128-bit record
represented as eight fields of up to four hexadecimal digits with a colon
separating each field (:). For example, ‘fe80::215:c5ff:fe03:4dc7'. The symbol
'::' is a special syntax that can be used as a shorthand way of representing
multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous zeros; but it can only appear once. It
can also represent a legally valid IPv4 address. For example, '::192.1.2.34'.
