Setting the Switch’s IP Address (IP Version 6)
– 530
address is easy to set up, and may be useful for simple networks or basic
troubleshooting tasks. However, to connect to a larger network with multiple
segments, the switch must be configured with a global unicast address. Both
link-local and global unicast address types can either be dynamically assigned
(using the Configure Interface page) or manually configured (using the Add
IPv6 Address page).
An IPv6 global unicast or link-local address can be manually configured (using
the Add IPv6 Address page), or a link-local address can be dynamically
generated (using the Configure Interface – Add Address page).
Configuring the IPv6
Default Gateway
Use the IP > IPv6 Configuration (Configure Global) page to configure an IPv6
default gateway for the switch.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
Default Gateway
– Sets the IPv6 address of the default next hop router.
An IPv6 default gateway must be defined if the management station is
located in a different IPv6 segment.
An IPv6 default gateway can only be successfully set when a network
interface that directly connects to the gateway has been configured on the
switch.
An IPv6 address must be configured according to RFC 2373 “IPv6
Addressing Architecture, using 8 colon-separated 16-bit hexadecimal
values. One double colon may be used in the address to indicate the
appropriate number of zeros required to fill the undefined fields.
Web Interface
To configure an IPv6 default gateway for the switch:
1.
Click IP, IPv6 Configuration.
2.
Select Configure Global from the Action list.
3.
