Setting | Description |
|
|
Enable | Enable or disable IPv6 with this check box. |
|
|
Manual | Configure IPv6 manually by entering the IP address and the default gateway. |
|
|
Auto | When the Auto Configuration check box is selected, the system obtains addressing prefixes |
Configuration | from the router (if available). It uses those prefixes to automatically configure IPv6 addresses. |
|
|
DHCPv6 | Router Controlled: Selecting this option means that DHCPv6 is controlled by the |
Mode | Managed(M) and Other(O) flags received in IPv6 router advertisements. When a router |
| advertisement is received, the Management Card checks whether the M or the O flag is set. |
| The Management Card interprets the state of the M (Managed Address Configuration Flag) |
| and O (Other Stateful Configuration Flag) "bits" for the following cases: |
| • Neither is set: Indicates the local network has no DHCPv6 infrastructure. The Management |
| Card uses router advertisements and manual configuration to get addresses that are not link- |
| local and other settings. |
| • M, or M and O are set: In this situation, full DHCPv6 address configuration occurs. |
| DHCPv6 is used to obtain addresses AND other configuration settings. This is known as |
| DHCPv6 stateful. Once the M flag has been received, the DHCPv6 address |
| configuration stays in effect until the interface in question has been closed. This is true even |
| if subsequent router advertisement packets are received in which the M flag is not set. |
| If an O flag is received first, then an M flag is received subsequently, the Management Card |
| performs full address configuration upon receipt of the M flag |
| • Only O is set: In this situation, the Management Card sends a DHCPv6 |
| DHCPv6 will be used to configure “other” settings (such as location of DNS servers), but |
| NOT to provide addresses. This is known as DHCPv6 stateless. |
| Address and Other Information: With this radio box selected, DHCPv6 is used to obtain |
| addresses AND other configuration settings. This is known as DHCPv6 stateful. |
| |
| configure "other" settings (such as location of DNS servers), but NOT to provide addresses. |
| This is known as DHCPv6 stateless. |
| Never: Select this to disable DHCPv6. |
