For IPv6 the following configuration parameters are displayed: Link-Local
IPv6 Address
, Global IPv6 Address, and Default Gateway. Tap on the
Config button to access all settings.

Link-Local IPv6 Address (LLA) is used for local communication
between on-link neighbors and for Neighbor Discovery process.

Mode

Stateless Auto (default) allows automatic generation of the IPv6
address based on the MAC address.

Static allows to enter the IP Address.

Address, available with Static mode, allows to select the
Link-Local IPv6 Address. The accepted range is from
FE80:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 to
FE80:0000:0000:0000:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF. The default address
is FE80::[Interface ID], where [Interface ID] is generated from
the source MAC address. When the Address field is selected for
editing using virtual keyboard, the Previous IPs button appears
allowing to select a previously configured IP address.

Global IPv6 Address (GUA) is used to communicate with on-link
neighbors and for global communication with hosts outside the
subnet.

Mode

None disables the Global IPv6 Address and the Default Gateway
Address
.

Stateless Auto (default) allows automatic generation of the IPv6
address based on the Link-Local address interface ID and the
prefix obtained from the router advertisements. If no Interface ID
has been obtained for the Link Local Address, the global address
will not be generated.

Static allows to enter the IP address.
