Saving the IP Address in the Print Server
Print Server User Manual 20
2.4 ... via Auto Configuration (IPv6 Standard)
The print server can have an IPv4 address and several IPv6 addresses
at the same time. The IPv6 standard is used to automatically assign
IP addresses in IPv6 networks. When connected to an IPv6 network,
the print server will automatically obtain an additional link-local
IPv6 address.
What Happens When
the Print Server is
Turned on?
The IPv6 standard uses the following mechanism to assign IP
addresses automatically. When the print server is started in an IPv6
network, the print server will be addressed via an automatically
generated address from the link-local address range (FE8 …).
The print server uses the link-local IP address to search for a router.
The print server sends so-called 'Router Solicitations' (RS) to the
special multicast address FF02::2. The available router will then
return a Router Advertisement (RA) containing the required
information.
With a prefix from the range of the global unicast addresses, the
print server can compose its own address. It simply replaces the first
64 bits (prefix FE80::) with the prefix that was sent in the RA.
