for communication on the same network only.

from different subnets.

address, this specifies the Link Local interface. The possible options

are:

VLAN 5 — The VLAN on which the IPv6 interface is configured.

ISATAP — The IPv6 interface is configured on an ISATAP

tunnel.

SNMP Management Station — Enter the management station IP

address for which the SNMP community is defined, or choose All to

be able to receive SNMP messages from anywhere.

Community String (1-20 Characters) — Enter the community string,

which functions as a password, and is used to authenticate the

management station to the device.
