STEP 4 Click Apply to enable IPv6 processing on the selected interface. Regular IPv6
interfaces have the following addresses automatically configured:
• Link local address using EUI-64 format interface ID based on a device’s MAC
address
• All node link local Multicast addresses (FF02::1)
• Solicited-Node Multicast address (format FF02::1:FFXX:XXXX)
STEP 5 Click IPv6 Address Table to manually assign IPv6 addresses to the interface, if
required. This page is described in the “Defining IPv6 Addresses” section.
Defining IPv6 Addresses
To assign an IPv6 address to an IPv6 Interface:
STEP 1 Click Administration > Management Interface > IPv6 Addresses.
The IPv6 Address Page opens.
STEP 2 Select an interface, and click Go. The interface is displayed in the IPv6 Address
Table.
STEP 3 Click Add. The Add IPv6 Address Page opens.
STEP 4 Enter the values for the fields.
• IPv6 Interface—Displays the interface where the address is automatically
completed, based on the filter.
• IPv6 Address Type—Select Link Local or Global as the type of IPv6 address
to add.
- Link Local—The IPv6 address uniquely identifies hosts on a single
network link. A link local address has a prefix of FE80, is not routable, and
can be used for communication only on the local network. Only one link
local address is supported. If a link local address exists on the interface,
this entry replaces the address in the configuration.
- Global—The IPv6 address is a global Unicast IPV6 type that is visible and
reachable from other networks.
• IPv6 Address—The switch supports one IPv6 interface. In additional to the
default link local and Multicast addresses, the device also automatically
adds global addresses to the interface based on the router advertisements
