Setting the Management IP Address for a Transparent Firewall
Configuring the IPv6 Address
You can configure two types of unicast addresses for IPv6:
•
•
At a minimum, you need to configure a link-local addresses for IPv6 to operate. If you configure a global
address, a link-local addresses is automatically configured on each interface, so you do not also need to
specifically configure a link-local address. If you do not configure a global address, then you need to
configure the link-local address, either automatically or manually.
See the
This section describes how to configure the global address or the link-local address, and includes the
following topics:

Configuring the Global Address
To set the management IPv6 address, perform the following steps:
Go to Configuration > Device Management > Management Access > Management IP Address.
Step 1
In the IPv6 Addresses area, click Add.
Step 2
The Add IPv6 Management Address dialog box appears.
In the IP Address field, enter an IPv6 address.
Step 3
For example, 2001:0DB8::BA98:0:3210. See the
information about IPv6 addressing.
In the Prefix Length field, enter the prefix length.
Step 4
For example, 48. See the

Global—The global address is a public address that you can use on the public network. This address
needs to be configured for the whole device, and not per-interface.
Link-local—The link-local address is a private address that you can only use on the
directly-connected network. Routers do not forward packets using link-local addresses; they are
only for communication on a particular physical network segment. They can be used for address
configuration or for the ND functions such as address resolution and neighbor discovery. Because
the link-local address is only available on a segment, and is tied to the interface MAC address, you
need to configure the link-local address per interface.
