Specify A Link-Local Ipv6 Address For The Airbridge - NETGEAR Insight Instant AirBridge User Manual

Note: To log back in to the AirBridge, you now must use the static IP address that you
assigned.
Specify a link-local IPv6 address for the
AirBridge
By default, the DHCP client of the AirBridge is enabled, allowing a DHCPv6 server
(usually, a router) in your network to assign an IPv6 address to the AirBridge. You can
disable the DHCP client and specify link-local IPv6 address settings for the AirBridge.
To specify link-local IPv6 address settings for the AirBridge:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
AirBridge or directly to the AirBridge through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the AirBridge.
The login page displays.
If your browser does not display the login page but displays a security message and
does not let you proceed, see Log in to the AirBridge after initial setup on page 31.
3. Enter the AirBridge user name and local device password.
The user name is admin. The local device password is the one that you specified
the first time that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously managed the AirBridge through the NETGEAR Insight app or Insight
Cloud portal, enter the Insight network password for the Insight network location to
which the AirBridge was assigned (see Connect over WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight
App on an iOS or Android mobile device on page 13).
The Device Status page displays the Device Information section and other sections.
4. Under Network, select Basic.
The page that displays shows the IPv4 Settings, IPv6 Settings, and Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP) Settings sections.
5. In the IPv4 Settings section, select the Static IP radio button.
The IPv4 address fields display.
6. In the IPv6 Settings section, clear the Link-local Address check box.
The IPv6 address fields display.
7. Specify the static IPv6 address, subnet prefix length, IPv6 gateway address, and
primary and secondary DNS addresses.
