Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), also called IP next generation (IPng), was designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as the successor to Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4). The significant difference between IPv6 and IPv4 is that IPv6 increases the IP address size from 32 bits to 128 bits. You can configure IPv6 address on the switch and login the switch through the address to access the IPv6 applications.

Global Config

Here you can have a global configuration for IPv6.

IPv6

Select Enable/Disable IPv6 function globally on the Switch.

Link-local Address Config

Here you can configure the link-local address of the switch.

Config Mode		Select the link-local address configuration mode.
		Manual: When this option is selected, you should assign a link-local address manually. Auto: When this option is selected, the switch will generate a link-local address automatically.
Link-local Address		Enter a link-local address.
Status		Displays the status of the link-local address.
		Normal: Indicates that the link-local address is normal. Try: Indicates that the link-local address may be newly configured. Repeat: Indicates that the link-local address is duplicate. It is illegal to access the switch using the IPv6 address(including link-local and global address).

Global Address Autoconfig via RA Message

Here you can choose whether to allow the switch to configure the global address automatically via the RA message.

Enable global address auto configuration via RA message

When this option is enabled, the switch automatically configures a global address and other information according to the address prefix and other configuration parameters from the received RA(Router Advertisement) message.

Global Address Autoconfig via DHCPv6 Server

Here you can enable global address auto configuration via DHCPv6 Server.

Enable global address auto configuration via DHCPv6 Server

When this option is enabled, the system will try to obtain the global address from the DHCPv6 Server.

Add a global address manually

Here you can add a global address manually.

Address Format		You can select the global address format according to your requirements.
		EUI-64: Indicates that you only need to specify an address prefix, and then the system will create a global address automatically. Not EUI-64: Indicates that you have to specify an intact global address.
Global Address		When selecting the mode of EUI-64, please input the address prefix here, otherwise, please input an intact IPv6 address here.

Global address Table

Here you can view the Global Address Table and modify the global address which has been added manually.

Select		Select the desired entry to delete or modify the corresponding global address.
Global address		Modify the global address.
Length of prefix		Modify the prefix length of the global address.
Type		Displays the configuration mode of the global address.
		Manual: Indicates that the corresponding address is configured manually. Auto: Indicates that the corresponding address is created automatically using the RA message or obtained from the DHCPv6 Server.
Preferred Lifetime/Valid Lifetime		Displays the preferred time and valid time of the global address.
Status		Displays the status of the global address.
		Normal: Indicates that the global address is normal. Try: Indicates that the global address may be newly configured. Repeat: Indicates that the corresponding address is duplicate. It is illegal to access the switch using this address.
