IPv6
IPv6 settings include two distinct address types: Link-Local Unicast address and Global Unicast address. A
Link-Local address makes the switch accessible over IPv6 for all devices attached to the same local subnet. To
connect to a larger network with multiple segments, the switch must be configured with a Global Unicast
address.
Global Unicast Address Prefix (Prefix Length: 64 bits)
Setting Description Factory Default
Global Unicast Address
Prefix
The prefix value 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.
None
Global Unicast Address
Setting Description Factory Default
None Displays the IPv6 Global Unicast address.
The network portion of Global Unicast address can be
configured by specifying the Global Unicast Prefix and using a
EUI-64 interface ID in the low order 64 bits.
The host portion of Global Unicast address is automatically
generated using the modified EUI-64 form of the interface
identifier (Switch’s MAC address).
Link-Local Address
Setting Description Factory Default
None The network portion of Link-Local address is FE80 and the host
portion of Link-Local address is automatically generated using
the modified EUI-64 form of the interface identifier (Switch’s
MAC address).
FE80: (EUI-64 form
of the MAC address)
Neighbor Cache
Setting Description Factory Default
None The information in the neighbor cache that includes the
neighboring node IPv6 address, the corresponding Link-Layer
address, and current state of the entry.
None
