Insight Managed 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Cloud Switch with 2 SFP Fiber Ports
When in-band connectivity is established, you can change the IPv6 information through the
local browser interface.
 To configure the IPv6 address for the network interface:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch on page 13.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’s password in the password field.
The default password is password. If you added the switch to a network on the Insight
app before and you did not yet change the password through the local browser interface,
enter your Insight network password.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select System > Management > IPv6 Network Configuration.
The IPv6 Network Global Configuration page displays.
6. Ensure that the Admin Mode Enable radio button is selected.
7. Determine how the switch acquires an IPv6 address:
• IPv6 Address Auto Configuration Mode. When this mode is enabled, the network
interface can acquire an IPv6 address through IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol
(NDP) and through the use of router advertisement messages. When this mode is
disabled, the network interface does not use the native IPv6 address
autoconfiguration feature to acquire an IPv6 address. Autoconfiguration can be
enabled only when DHCPv6 is not enabled on any of the management interfaces.
• DHCPv6. Next to Current Network Configuration Protocol, select the DHCPv6 radio
button to enable the DHCPv6 client on the interface. The switch attempts to acquire
network information from a DHCPv6 server. Selecting the None radio button disables
the DHCPv6 client on the network interface. When DHCPv6 is enabled, the DHCPv6
Client DUID field displays the client identifier used by the DHCPv6 client (if enabled)
when sending messages to the DHCPv6 server.
8. In the IPv6 Gateway field, specify the IPv6 address for the default gateway for the network
interface.
The gateway address is in IPv6 global or link-local address format.
9. To configure one or more static IPv6 addresses for the network interface, do the following:
a. In the IPv6 Prefix/Prefix Length field, specify the static IPv6 prefix and prefix to the
IPv6 network interface.
The address is in the global address format.
