Setting the Switch’s IP Address (IP Version 6)
– 612 –
VLAN - VLAN ID (Range: 1-4094)
MAC Address - The 48-bit MAC layer address for the neighbor device. This
address must be formatted as six hexadecimal pairs separated by hyphens.
Web Interface
To configure an IPv6 address:
1. Click IP, IPv6 Configuration.
2. Select Configure Neighbor from the Step list.
3. Select Add from the Action list.
4. Enter the IPv6 address and MAC address, then specify the VLAN ID.
5. Click Apply.

Configuring an
IPv6 Address
Use the IP > IPv6 Configuration (Add IPv6 Address) page to configure an IPv6
interface for management access over the network, or for creating an interface to
multiple subnets.
Command Usage
All IPv6 addresses must be formatted 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.
The switch must always be configured with a link-local address. Therefore any
configuration process that enables IPv6 functionality, or assigns a global
unicast address to the switch, including address auto-configuration or explicitly
enabling IPv6 IPv6 (see Configuring IPv6 Interface Settings” on page 606), will
also automatically generate a link-local unicast address. The prefix length for a
link-local address is fixed at 64 bits, and the host portion of the default address
is based on the modified EUI-64 (Extended Universal Identifier) form of the
interface identifier (i.e., the physical MAC address). Alternatively, you can
