Configuring an IPv6 Management Interface
Use the IPv6 Interface page to enable access to the web-based switch
configuration utility over IPv6. You can configure the switch to dynamically learn its
IPv6 addresses and you can configure IPv6 addresses statically.
To enable IPv6 management access:
STEP 1 Click Administration > Management Interface > IPv6 Interface in the navigation
window.
The Interface field shows the VLAN ID of the management VLAN.
STEP 2 Configure the following settings:
• IPv6 Mode—Select to enable IPv6 management access.
• IPv6 Address Auto Configuration—Select to enable the switch to auto-
configure its link-local address(es) in EUI-64 format, using the MAC address
of the port(s) for the link-local part of the address. The switch listens to router
advertisements to detect and autoconfigure the global part of the address.
• DHCPv6—Select to enable the switch to obtain its IPv6 address(es) from a
DHCPv6 server.
• IPv6 Gateway—Enter the link local address of the IPv6 router where the
switch should send IPv6 packets destined for a device outside the subnet.
STEP 3 Click Apply. Your changes are saved to the Running Configuration. You can click
Cancel to clear the changes.
Adding IPv6 Addresses
The IPv6 Address table lists static addresses currently configured on the switch. It
contains the following fields:
• IPv6 Address—IPv6 address in IPv6 global address format.
The table includes the default IPv6 address. The switch creates this
address automatically by inserting standard byte values into its 48-bit MAC
address to create a 64-bit IPv6 address in EUI-64 format, as described in
RFC 3513.
