– 607 –
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
server. Some hosts interpret the “other stateful configuration” flag to indicate
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 from DHCPv6 servers.
In this case, the absence of both the “managed address configuration” flag and
the “other stateful configuration” flag is interpreted to mean that they should
use only stateless autoconfiguration to obtain addresses.
IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol supersedes IPv4 Address Resolution Protocol
in IPv6 networks. IPv6 nodes on the same network segment use Neighbor
Discovery to discover each other's presence, to determine each other's link-
layer addresses, to find routers and to maintain reachability information about
the paths to active neighbors. The key parameters used to facilitate this process
are the number of attempts made to verify whether or not a duplicate address
exists on the same network segment, and the interval between neighbor
solicitations used to verify reachability information.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
VLAN Mode
VLAN ID of a configured VLAN which is to be used for management access, or
as a standard interface for a subnet. 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)
Enable IPv6 Explicitly – Enables IPv6 on an interface and assigns it a link-local
address. Note that when an explicit address is assigned to an interface, IPv6 is
automatically enabled, and cannot be disabled until all assigned addresses
have been removed. (Default: Disabled)
Disabling this parameter does not disable IPv6 for an interface that has been
explicitly configured with an IPv6 address.
Enable ND managed-config-flag – C.onfigures IPv6 router advertisements to
indicate to attached hosts that they can use stateful autoconfiguration to
obtain addresses. (Default: Disabled)
