Auto Configuration (IPv6 Standard)
The TPG can have an IPv4 address and several IPv6 addresses at the
same time. The IPv6 standard is used to automatically assign IP
addresses in IPv6 networks. When connected to an IPv6 network, the
TPG will automatically obtain an additional 'link-local' IPv6 address
from the IPv6 address range.
The TPG uses the 'link-local' IP address to search for a router. The
TPG sends so-called 'Router Solicitations' (RS) to the special
multicast address FF02::2. The available router will then return a
'Router Advertisement' (RA) containing the required information.
With a prefix from the range of the global unicast addresses, the
TPG can compose its own address. It simply replaces the first 64 bits
(prefix FE80::) with the prefix that was sent in the RA.
Requirements
; The 'IPv6' parameter has been activated.
; The 'Automatic configuration' parameter has been activated;
see: Ö28.
To configure the assignment of IPv6 addresses, see: Ö28.
InterCon-NetTool
The InterCon-NetTool has been developed by SEH Computertechnik
GmbH for the administration of SEH network devices. The IP Wizard
of the InterCon-NetTool helps you to configure the TCP/IP
parameters, e.g. the IP address. You can manually enter the desired
IPv4 address and save it in the TPG using the IP Wizard. To configure
an IPv4 address via the InterCon-NetTool, see: Ö26.
TPG Control Center
You can manually enter the desired IP address and save it in the TPG
using the TPG Control Center.
• To configure an IPv4 address via the TPG Control Center, see: Ö 26.
• To configure an IPv6 address via the TPG Control Center, see: Ö 28.
