- Send ICMP Unreachable - Enable/disable transmission of ICMPv6 address Unreachable messages. When enabled, unreachable messages are generated for any packet arriving on the interface with unassigned TCP/UDP port. 4 To add an address to an IPv6 interface, click Add IPv6 Address, and enter the fields for the selected interface: - IPv6 Address Type - Check the means by which the IP address was added to the interface. The possible options are: • Link Local - The IP address is link local; non-routable and can be used for communication on the same network only. A Link Local address has a prefix of 'FE80'. • Global Unicast - The IP address is a globally unique IPv6 Unicast address; visible and reachable from different subnets. • Global Anycast - The IP address is a globally unique IPv6 Anycast address; visible and reachable from different subnets. - IPv6 Address - Enter the IPv6 address assigned to the interface. The address must be a valid IPv6 address, specified in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons. An example of an IPv6 address is 2031:0:130F:0:0:9C0:876A:130D and the compressed version is represented as 2031:0:130F::9C0:876A:130D. Up to five IPv6 addresses (not including Link Local addresses) can be set per interface, with the limitation of up to128 addresses per system. - Prefix Length - For global Unicast or Anycast, enter the length of the IPv6 prefix. The length is a decimal value that indicates how many of the high-order contiguous bits of the address comprise the prefix (the network portion of the address). The Prefix field is applicable only on a static IPv6 address defined as a Global IPv6 address. - EUI-64 - For global Unicast or Anycast, check to use the EUI-64 option. 216 Dell PowerConnect 55xx Systems User Guide
