Setting the Switch’s IP Address (IP Version 6)
– 449 –
(M flag) and Other Stateful Configuration flag (O flag) received in
Router Advertisement messages will determine the information this
switch should attempt to acquire from the DHCPv6 server as described
below.
■
Both M and O flags are set to 1:
DHCPv6 is used for both address and other configuration settings.
This combination is known as DHCPv6 stateful autoconfiguration, in
which a DHCPv6 server assigns stateful addresses to IPv6 hosts.
■
The M flag is set to 0, and the O flag is set to 1:
DHCPv6 is used only for other configuration settings.
Neighboring routers are configured to advertise non-link-local
address prefixes from which IPv6 hosts derive stateless addresses.
This combination is known as DHCPv6 stateless autoconfiguration,
in which a DHCPv6 server does not assign stateful addresses to
IPv6 hosts, but does assign stateless configuration settings.
WEB INTERFACE
To general IPv6 settings for the switch:
1. Click IP, IPv6 Configuration.
2. Select Configure Interface from the Action list.
3. Specify the VLAN to configure, enable address auto-configuration, or
enable IPv6 explicitly to automatically configure a link-local address
and enable IPv6 on the selected interface. Set the MTU size, the
maximum number of duplicate address detection messages, and the
neighbor solicitation message interval.
4. Click Apply.
