IPv6 Address Configuration
Global IPv6 Address
The Global IPv6 Address (GUA) is used for global communication with
hosts outside the subnet and to communicate with on-link neighbors.

Mode

None disables the Global IPv6 address and the Default Gateway
address.

Stateless Auto allows automatic generation of the IPv6 address
based on the MAC address and the prefix obtained from router
advertisements. If no prefix has been obtained, the Global address
will not be generated. The mode Stateless Auto is selected by
default.

Static allows to enter the IP address. The default address is
2001::[Interface ID], where [Interface ID] is generated from the
source MAC address.

Interface ID Coupled: Available when the Static Mode is selected, it
allows to couple the interface ID of the Global address to the Link-local
source address. The Global address interface ID will match the
Link-local address interface ID. The Interface ID Coupled check box
is selected by default.

Prefix Mask: Available when the Static Mode is selected, it allows to
specify a prefix that defines the subnet. For example:
Note: The prefix mask must be a series, from left to right, of consecutive binary
1’s followed by consecutive 0’s.
