C HAPTER 15 | IP Configuration
Setting the Switch’s IP Address (IP Version 6)
– 447 –
PARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed:
◆ VLAN – ID of a configured VLAN which is to be used for management
access. By default, all ports on the switch are members of VLAN 1.
However, the management station can be attached to a port belonging
to any VLAN, as long as that VLAN has been assigned an IP address.
(Range: 1-4093)
◆ Address Autoconfig – Enables stateless autoconfiguration of an IPv6
address on an interface and enables IPv6 functionality on that
interface. The network portion of the address is based on prefixes
received in IPv6 router advertisement messages, and the host portion
is automatically generated using the modified EUI-64 form of the
interface identifier (i.e., the switch’s MAC address).
■
If a link local address has not yet been assigned to this interface,
this command will dynamically generate one. The link-local address
is made with an address prefix in the range of FE80~FEBF and a
host portion based the switch’s MAC address in modified EUI-64
format. It will also generate a global unicast address if a global
prefix is included in received router advertisements.
■
When DHCPv6 is restarted, the switch may attempt to acquire an IP
address prefix through stateful address autoconfiguration. If the
router advertisements have the “other stateful configuration” flag
set, the switch will attempt to acquire other non-address
configuration information (such as a default gateway).
■
If auto-configuration is not selected, then an address must be
manually configured using the Add Interface page described below.
◆ Enable IPv6 Explicitly – Enables IPv6 on an interface. Note that
when an explicit address is assigned to an interface, IPv6 is
automatically enabled, and cannot be disabled until all assigned
addresses have been removed. (Default: Disabled)
Disabling this parameter does not disable IPv6 for an interface that has
been explicitly configured with an IPv6 address.
◆ MTU – Sets the size of the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for IPv6
packets sent on an interface. (Range: 1280-65535 bytes;
Default: 1500 bytes)
■
The maximum value set in this field cannot exceed the MTU of the
physical interface, which is currently fixed at 1500 bytes.
■
IPv6 routers do not fragment IPv6 packets forwarded from other
routers. However, traffic originating from an end-station connected
to an IPv6 router may be fragmented.
■
All devices on the same physical medium must use the same MTU in
order to operate correctly.
■
IPv6 must be enabled on an interface before the MTU can be set. If
an IPv6 address has not been assigned to the switch, “N/A” is
displayed in the MTU field.
