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 Info-Request packet.

 

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.

 

Non-Address Information Only: With this radio box selected, 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.

 

Never: Select this to disable DHCPv6.

 

 

Ping Response

Path: Administration > Network > Ping Response

Select the Enable check box for IPv4 Ping Response to allow the Network Management Card to respond to network pings. Clear the check box to disable a Management Card response. This does not apply to IPv6.
