4. Select the Advanced check box to configure IPv6 properties. The IPv6 properties appear on the

Web page.

5. Configure the following IPv6 properties. You must reboot the SmartServer to implement changes

made to properties that are marked with an asterisk (*).

IPv6 Property

Enable IPv6
Interface

Enables the SmartServer to connect to devices and servers that use IPv6.
This option is selected by default.

Link Local
Address (auto
configured)

Displays the IPv6 link local address assigned to the SmartServer. The link
local address can only be accessed by IPv6 devices on the local network to
which the SmartServer is attached. If a router is present between your
computer and the SmartServer you will not be able to use this address to
communicate with the SmartServer. Both addresses are automatically
configured by the SmartServer when the IPv6 interface is enabled.

Note: To use this local IPv6 link local address, you need to append the
‘%’ character and the number of your computer’s network card to the IPv6
address. You can obtain this number by entering the ipconfig in the
Windows command prompt. The network interface is normally named
“Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection”, and the card number is the
number after the ‘%’ character in your computer’s IPv6 address.

For example, if your SmartServer’s IPv6 address is
FE80::2D0:71FF:FE03:0122 and your computer’s IPv6 address is
FE80::213:72FF:FE98:a649%5, enter the following in your Web browser
to access the SmartServer via IPv6:
