Configuring IPv6
Interface Settings
Use the IP > IPv6 Configuration (Configure Interface – VLAN or RA Guard) page to
configure general IPv6 settings for the selected VLAN, including auto-configuration
of a global unicast interface address, and explicit configuration of a link local
interface address, the MTU size, and neighbor discovery protocol settings for
duplicate address detection and the neighbor solicitation interval.
Command Usage
The switch must be configured with a link-local address. The switchs address
auto-configuration function will automatically create a link-local address, as
well as an IPv6 global address if router advertisements are detected on the local
interface.
The option to explicitly enable IPv6 creates a link-local address, but will not
generate a global IPv6 address if auto-configuration is not enabled. In this case,
you can manually configure a global unicast address (see “Configuring an
IPv6 Address” on page 606).
The “managed-address configuration” flag tells hosts that they should use
stateless address autoconfiguration to get IPv6 address (based on the IPv6
prefixes found in router advertisements) and stateful autoconfiguration to get
other non-address parameters (such as DNS server addresses) from DHCPv6
servers. This flag is only a suggestion to attached hosts. They may still use
stateful and/or stateless address autoconfiguration. If hosts must be forced to
use DHCPv6 for security reasons, ensure that no route prefixes are sent in router
advertisements.
The “other-stateful-configuration” flag tells hosts that they should use stateful
autoconfiguration to obtain information other than addresses from a DHCPv6
