4.3.1.4 IPV6 Settings

This menu displays current IPV6 settings and allows a user to toggle the dynamic host conﬁguration protocol and method. There can be up to

six IPV6 addresses for the card. Only two of these are impacted by this menu. A user may choose to have one IPV6 Address determined through

DHCP and one set statically. Any others that appear in the list have been automatically assigned by the card’s software. They are shown here

because they are valid IP addresses and can be used to route to the card. These addresses will have a method of AUTO.
