To activate or deactivate the DHCP client on the switch for IPv6, perform
the following procedure:

1. From the main menu on the left side of the page, click the System

folder.
The System folder expands.

2. From the System folder, select IPv6 System Settings.

The IPv6 System Settings Page is shown in Figure 7.

3. From the pull-down menu next to the DHCPv6 Client field, select

Enabled.

4. Click Apply.

5. Follow the procedure to log on with the new IPv6 address provided by

the DHCPv6 Server as described in “Establishing a Remote
Connection to the Web Browser Interface” on page 24.

6. Save your new settings or any changes to the configuration file by

selecting Save Settings to Flash from the main menu on the left side
of the page to permanently save your changes.

If you enable DHCPv6 and then save your configuration, you are
saving the DHCPv6 setting. The next time the switch boots up, it will
use the DHCPv6 process to establish the IPv6 address used to
manage the AT-GS950/8 switch.

If you enter a new IP address after disabling DHCPv6 and save your
configuration, the disabled DHCPv6 setting and the new IPv6 address
on the switch is saved. The next time the switch boots up, it will
respond to the IPv6 address that you entered when you re-establish
contact with the AT-S113 Management software.
