Setting the Switch’s IP Address (IP Version 6)
– 613 –
manually configure the link-local address by entering the full address with a
network prefix in the range of FE80~FEBF.
To connect to a larger network with multiple subnets, you must configure a
global unicast address. There are several alternatives to configuring this
address type:
The global unicast address can be automatically configured by taking the
network prefix from router advertisements observed on the local interface,
and using the modified EUI-64 form of the interface identifier to
automatically create the host portion of the address (see “Configuring IPv6
Interface Settings” on page 606).
It can be manually configured by specifying the entire network prefix and
prefix length, and using the EUI-64 form of the interface identifier to
automatically create the low-order 64 bits in the host portion of the
address.
You can also manually configure the global unicast address by entering the
full address and prefix length.
You can configure multiple IPv6 global unicast addresses per interface, but only
one link-local address per interface.
If a duplicate link-local address is detected on the local segment, this interface
is disabled and a warning message displayed on the console. If a duplicate
global unicast address is detected on the network, the address is disabled on
this interface and a warning message displayed on the console.
When an explicit address is assigned to an interface, IPv6 is automatically
enabled, and cannot be disabled until all assigned addresses have been
removed.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
VLAN ID of a configured VLAN which is to be used for management access, or
for creating an interface to multiple subnets. 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: 1-4094)
IPv6 Address Mode – Defines the IPv6 address mode for the VLAN interface.
User Specified – Configures a specific IPv6 address based on the Address
Type setting.
AUTOCONFIG – Enables stateless autoconfiguration of IPv6 addresses on
an interface. The network portion of the address is based on prefixes
received in IPv6 router advertisement messages; the host portion is based
on the modified EUI-64 form of the interface identifier (i.e., the switchs MAC
address).
