Configuring Advanced Features

router is configured by the network administrator and sends out Router
Advertisement announcements onto the link. These announcements can allow the
on-link connected IP phone to configure itself with IPv6 address, as specified in RFC
4862.
 Stateful DHCPv6: The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) has
been standardized by the IETF through RFC3315. DHCPv6 enables DHCP servers to
pass configuration parameters such as IPv6 network addresses to IPv6 nodes. It
offers the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and
additional configuration flexibility. This protocol is a stateful counterpart to ―IPv6
Stateless Address Autoconfiguration‖, and can be used separately or in addition to
the stateless autoconfiguration to obtain configuration parameters.
Note
Procedure
IPv6 can be configured using the configuration files or locally.
Configuration File
<y000000000028>.cfg
Configure the IPv6 address
assignment method.

Web User Interface
Configure the IPv6 address
assignment method.
Navigate to:

et?p=network&q=load
To configure IPv6 address assignment method via web user interface:
1. Click on Network->Basic.
2. Select the desired address mode (IPv6 or IPv4&IPv6) from the pull-down list of
Internet Port Mode.
3. In the IPv6 Config block, mark the DHCP or the Static IP Address radio box.
If the IP phone enables the SLAAC and DHCPv6 features both, the phone will obtain the
IP address from the SLAAC and obtain the other network parameters from DHCPv6.
