IP Addressing 205
– Stateless —Select to enable the interface to receive configuration
information from a DHCP server.
–
Minimum Information Refresh Time (600-4294967294) —This
value is used to put a floor on the refresh time value. If the server
sends a refresh time option that is less than this value, this value is
used instead. Select either
Infinite (no refresh unless the server sends
this option) or
User Defined to set a value.
–
Information Refresh Time (86400-4294967294) —This value
indicates how often the device will refresh information received from
the DHCPv6 server. If this option is not received from the server, the
value entered here is used. Select either
Infinite (no refresh unless the
server sends this option) or
User Defined to set a value
4 To enable IPv6 support on this interface, click Add IPv6 Interface , and
enter the fields as described above:
5 To add an address to an IPv6 interface, click Add IPv6 Address , and enter
the fields for the selected interface:
–
IPv6 Address Type — Check the means by which the IP address was
added to the interface. The possible options are:
•
Link Local — The IP address is link local; non-routable and can
be used for communication on the same network only. A Link
Local address has a prefix of 'FE80'.
•
Global Unicast — The IP address is a globally unique IPv6
Unicast address; visible and reachable from different subnets
.
• Global Anycast — The IP address is a globally unique IPv6
Anycast address; visible and reachable from different subnets
.
– IPv6 Address — Enter the IPv6 address assigned to the interface. The
address must be a valid IPv6 address, specified in hexadecimal using
16-bit values between colons. An example of an IPv6 address is
2031:0:130F:0:0:9C0:876A:130D and the compressed version is
represented as 2031:0:130F::9C0:876A:130D. Up to five IPv6
addresses (not including Link Local addresses) can be set per
interface, with the limitation of up to128 addresses per system.
