IPv6 Address Setting
IPv6 is an Internet Layer protocol for packet-switched internetworking and provides end-to-end datagram
transmission across multiple IP networks. IPv6 includes two distinct address types; link-local unicast and global
unicast.

Figure 6: IPv6 Address Setting
Hint
The following parameters are displayed on the IPv6 Address Setting page:
■ Auto Configuration—Enables stateless auto configuration of IPv6 addresses on the interface and enables IPv6
functionality on the interface.
■ IPv6 Address—Manually sets up a global unicast address by specifying the full address and network prefix
length (in the Prefix field). (Default: null)
■ Prefix Length—Defines the prefix length as a decimal value indicating how many contiguous bits (starting at
the left) of the address comprise the prefix; that is, the network portion of the address. (Default: 0)
■ Router—Sets up the IPv6 address of the default next hop router. An IPv6 default gateway must be defined if
the management station is located in a different IPv6 segment. An IPv6 default gateway can only be successfully
set when a network interface that directly connects to the gateway has been configured on the switch.
