• IPv6 Interface—Select a specific port, LAG, VLAN, or ISATAP tunnel.
• Number of DAD Attempts—Enter the number of consecutive neighbor
solicitation messages that are sent while Duplicate Address Detection (DAD)
is performed on the interface's Unicast IPv6 addresses. DAD verifies the
uniqueness of a new Unicast IPv6 address before it is assigned. New
addresses remain in a tentative state during DAD verification. Entering 0 in
this field disables duplicate address detection processing on the specified
interface. Entering 1 in this field indicates a single transmission without
follow-up transmissions.
• IPv6 Address Auto Configuration—Enable automatic address
configuration. If enabled, the switch supports IPv6 stateless address auto
configuration of site local and global IP address from the IPv6 router
advertisement received on the interface. The switch does not support
stateful address auto configuration. If auto-configuration is not enabled,
define an IPv6 address from the IPv6 Addresses page.
• Send ICMPv6 Messages—Enable generating unreachable destination
messages.
Click Apply to enable IPv6 processing on the selected interface. Regular IPv6
interfaces have the following addresses automatically configured:
• Link local address using EUI-64 format interface ID based on a device's MAC
address
• All node link local Multicast addresses (FF02::1)
• Solicited-Node Multicast address (format FF02::1:FFXX:XXXX)
Click IPv6 Address Table to manually assign IPv6 addresses to the interface, if
required. This page is described in the
Defining IPv6 Addresses
To assign an IPv6 address to an IPv6 Interface:
In Layer 2 system mode, click Administration > Management Interface > IPv6
Addresses.
