128 Using the CMC Web Interface
Table 5-15. IPv6 Settings
Setting Description
Enable IPv6 Allows the CMC to use the IPv6 protocol to
communicate on the network. Unchecking this box does not
prevent IPv4 networking from occurring. Default: Checked
(enabled)
AutoConfiguration
Enable
Allows the CMC to use the IPv6 protocol to obtain IPv6
related address and gateway settings from an IPv6 router
configured to provide this information. The CMC will then
have a unique IPv6 address on your network.
Default: Checked (enabled)
NOTE: When this feature is enabled, the Static IPv6 Address,
Static Prefix Length, and Static Gateway property fields
(located immediately following this option on the Network
Configuration page) are disabled, and any previously entered
values for these properties are ignored.
If this option is not checked, you must manually type the
Static IPv6 Address, Static Prefix Length, and Static
Gateway in the text fields located immediately following this
option on the Network Configuration page.
Static IPv6 Address Specifies the IPv6 address for the CMC NIC when
Autoconfiguration is not enabled.
Static Prefix Length Specifies the IPv6 prefix length for the CMC NIC when
Autoconfiguration is not enabled.
Static Gateway Specifies the static IPv6 gateway for the CMC NIC when
Autoconfiguration is not enabled.
NOTE: The Static IPv6 Address, Static Prefix Length, and
Static Gateway fields are active only if AutoConfiguration
Enable (the property field preceding these fields) is disabled
(unchecked). In that case, you must manually type the Static
IPv6 Address, Static Prefix Length, and Static Gateway for the
CMC to use over the IPv6 network.
NOTE: The Static IPv6 Address, Static Prefix Length, and
Static Gateway fields apply only to the chassis device. They do
not affect the other network-accessible components in the
chassis solution, such as the server network, local access, I/O
modules, and iKVM.
