Description

 

 

Subnet Mask

Manually assign a subnet mask if subnetting is used. A subnet mask is a 32-bit number.

 

When applied to an IP address, the subnet mask determines which bits specify the network

 

and subnet, and which bits uniquely specify the node.

 

 

Default Gateway

IP address of a router or computer that is used to connect to other networks or subnetworks.

 

 

TCP/IP(v6) tab

Use the TCP/IP(v6) tab to enable IPv6 operation, view IPv6 auto-configuration addresses, or manually configure IPv6 addresses. For basic information on IPv6 addresses on the print server, see TCP/IP configuration on page 15. For additional parameters that you can configure, see the Advanced tab.

Description

 

 

IPv6 Enable

Select or clear the check box to enable or disable IPv6 operation.

 

 

Link-Local Address

(Read only parameter.) Print server's IPv6 link-local address and prefix length. The

 

print server configures this address automatically. The link-local address allows the

 

print server to communicate with other IPv6 hosts on the local link without routers.

 

 

Stateless Addresses

Select or clear the check box to enable or disable the use of stateless addresses.

 

NOTE: Changes to the stateless addresses normally takes place when the print

 

server is turned off then turned on. You can immediately implement any stateless

 

address changes by clearing and then selecting the IPv6 Enable check box.

 

(Read only parameters.) The stateless addresses and prefix lengths configured on

 

the print server are listed. Stateless addresses are assigned under the control of a

 

router.

 

 

DHCPv6 Addresses

Select the DHCPv6 policy that the print server uses for stateful addresses, assigned

 

by a DHCPv6 server.

 

Select one of the following:

 

● Perform DHCPv6 only when requested by a router Allow the router to control

 

stateful addressing.

 

● Perform DHCPv6 when stateless configuration is unsuccessful or disabled

 

Attempt to use DHCPv6 if stateless addressing by a router fails.

 

● Always perform DHCPv6 on startup Always attempt DHCPv6 for configuration

 

each time it is turned on.

 

If DHCPv6 is used for stateful addressing, the addresses (and associated prefixes)

 

configured on the print server are listed.

 

 

Manual Address

Set an IPv6 address on the print server and select whether to use it.

 

Select the Enable check box to use a manually configured IPv6. Clear this check box

 

to disable the address.

 

Enter the IPv6 address and its prefix length using the Address and Prefix length

 

fields. If IPv6 address prefixes (for example, supplied by a router) are stored on the

 

print server, you can select a prefix from the Prefix field, and then click Add to copy

 

the prefix into the Address field. Then enter the remainder of the address.
