This is checked to enable stateless address autoconfiguration as specified in RFC4862. If this is
not checked, the Transformer must get its IPv6 address through alternative means such as manual
configuration through the Transformer IPv6 Address field or through stateful address
configuration like DHCPv6.
Use temporary addresses
This is checked to make the IEEE interface identifiers and the random number which are both
used in generating the global IPv6 addresses from stateless address autoconfiguration to change
over time as specified in RFC3041. The interface identifiers are made to change over time by
generating random values that will cause the IPv6 global address to also change over time, making
it more difficult for eavesdroppers and affording more privacy.
Prefer temporary addresses
This is checked to give preference to temporary addresses over public addresses in source address
selection when connections are initiated from the Transformer itself or from the host-side legacy
device.
Temporary address valid lifetime
Enter the valid lifetime of the temporary address in seconds or leave blank for the default of 1
week.
Temporary address preferred lifetime
Enter the preferred lifetime of the temporary address in seconds or leave blank for the default of
1 day.
