4. To set an IPv6 address for the switch, select the Enable IPv6 check box, and then complete the following
for IPv6:
a. From the IPv6 Discovery list, select one of the following:
• Static—Select this option to enable the IPv6 address and gateway boxes and define those
values.
• DHCPv6—Select this option to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6. DHCPv6 can
be used to statefully assign addresses if the network administrator needs more control over
addressing. It can also be used to distribute information that is not otherwise discoverable; for
example, the DNS server. (If you select DHCPv6, the IPv6 address and gateway boxes become
unavailable.)
• NDP—Select this option to use Neighbor Discovery Protocol for IPv6, as part of the Stateless
Address Autoconfiguration protocol. (If you select NDP, the IPv6 address and gateway boxes
become unavailable.)
b. If you selected Static for IPv6 Discovery, enter a valid address in the IPv6 Address box.
NOTE: Ensure that you append a forward slash (/) and address mask length at the end of the IPv6
address. Valid mask lengths range from 0 through 128. In the following example, the combination
of alphanumeric characters and colons (:) before the slash specify the IPv6 address and 96
specifies the mask length:
fd70:c154:c2df:116:20b:cdff:feca:2942/96
c. If you selected Static for IPv6 Discovery, enter a valid gateway in the IPv6 Gateway box.
5. To save your changes to the switch IP address and close this dialog box, click OK. To close this dialog
box without making changes, click Cancel.
