To configure IPv6 address settings:
STEP 1 Select LAN > IPv6 Addresses in the navigation area.
STEP 2 Configure the following settings:
•IPv6 Connection Type—Choose how the WAP device obtains an IPv6 address:
-DHCPv6—The IPv6 address is assigned by a DHCPv6 server.
-Static IPv6—You manually configure the IPv6 address. The IPv6 address should be in a form similar to xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx (2001:DB8::CAD5:7D91).
•IPv6 Administration Mode—Enables IPv6 management access.
•IPv6 Auto Configuration Administration Mode—Enables IPv6 automatic address configuration on the WAP device.
When enabled, the WAP device learns its IPv6 addresses and gateway by processing the Router Advertisements received on the LAN port. The WAP device can have multiple autoconfigured IPv6 addresses.
•Static IPv6 Address—The static IPv6 address. The WAP device can have a static IPv6 address even if addresses have already been configured automatically.
•Static IPv6 Address Prefix Length—The prefix length of the static address, which is an integer in the range of 0 to 128. The default is 0.
•Static IPv6 Address Status—One of the following values appears:
-Operational—The IP address has been verified as unique on the LAN and is usable on the interface.
-Tentative—The WAP device initiates a duplicate address detection (DAD) process automatically when a static IP address is assigned. An IPv6 address is in the tentative state while it is being verified as unique on the network. While in this state, the IPv6 address cannot be used to transmit or receive ordinary traffic.
-Blank (no value)—No IP address is assigned or the assigned address is not operational.
•IPv6 Autoconfigured Global Addresses—If the WAP device has been assigned one or more IPv6 addresses automatically, the addresses are listed.
