Global IPv6 address.

—Check to enable transmitting the network policy TLV in LLDP

Te n t a t i v e —Indicates the system is in process of IPv6 address duplication verification.

Figure 13-76. IPv6 Default Gateway

This screen lets you manually configure the router of all off-link traffic. The default gateway

address is an interface that serves as an access point to another network. For IPv6, the configuration

of the default gateway is not mandatory, since hosts can automatically learn of the existence of a

router on the local network through the router advertisement procedure.
