Chapter 8. Setup

IPv6 Configuration

IPv6 is the new (128-bit) format for specifying IP addresses. The PDU’s IPv6 IP and DNS addresses can either be assigned dynamically (DHCP), or a fixed IP address can be specified.

ŠFor dynamic IP address assignment, select the Obtain IP address automatically radio button. (This is the default setting.)

ŠTo specify a fixed IP address, select the Set IP address manually radio button and fill in the IP address with values appropriate for your network.

ŠFor automatic DNS Server address assignment, select the Obtain DNS Server address automatically radio button.

ŠTo specify the DNS Server address manually, select the Set DNS server address manually radio button, and fill in the addresses for the Preferred and Alternate DNS servers with values appropriate for your network.

Note: 1. If you choose Obtain IP address automatically, when the device starts up it waits to get its IP address from the DHCP server. If it hasn’t obtained the address after one minute, it automatically reverts to its factory default IP address (192.168.0.60.)

2.If the device is on a network that uses DHCP to assign network addresses, and you need to ascertain its IP address, see IP Address Determination, page 81, for information.

3.Specifying the Alternate DNS Server address is optional.
