4.3.2 IPv6 Interface Configuration
This section describes how to configure an IPv6 interface for management access over the network.
4.3.2.1 Global Configuration
Route Management > IPv6 Interface Configuration > Global Configuration page is used to configure anIPv6 default gateway for
the switch.
Default Gateway Sets the IPv6 address of the default next hop router.
An IPv6 default gateway must be defined if the management station is located in a different IPv6 segment.
An IPv6 default gateway can only be successfully set when a network interface that directly connects to the
gateway has been configured on the switch.
4.3.2.2 Interface Configuration
Route Management > IPv6 Interface Configuration > Interface Configuration page is used to configure general IPv6 settings for
the selected VLAN, including auto-configuration of global unicast address, explicit configuration of a link local interface address,
the MTU size, and neighbor discovery protocol settings for duplicate address detection and the neighbor solicitation interval.
VLAN ID of a configured VLAN which is to be used for management access. 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: 1-4093)
Address Autoconfig Enables stateless autoconfiguration of IPv6 addresses on an interface and enables IPv6 functionality
on that interface. The network portion of the address is based on prefixes received in IPv6 router advertisement messages, and
the host portion is automatically generated using the modified EUI-64 form of the interface identifier (i.e., the switch’s MAC
address).
If the router advertisements have the “other stateful configuration” flag set, the switch will attempt to acquire other
non-address configuration information (such as a default gateway).
If auto-configuration is not selected, then an address must be manually configured using the Add Interface page
described below.
