FILE LOCATION: C:\Users\gina\Desktop\Checkout_new\Dell Astute\User Guide\Dell_Astute_SwitchManagement.fm IPv6 Global Parameters To define IPv6 global parameters: 1 Click Switch Management > IPv6 Addressing > Global Parameters. 2 Click Edit and enter values for the following fields: • IPv6 Routing -Select Enable/Disable to enable/disable IPv6 routing. If this is not enabled, the device acts as a host (not a router) and can receive management packets, but cannot forward packets. If routing is enabled, the device can forward the IPv6 packets. • ICMPv6 Error Rate Limit Interval (0-2147483647) - Enter how often the ICMPv6 error messages are generated in milliseconds. The value of this parameter together with the Bucket Size parameter (below) determines how many ICMP error messages may be sent per time interval, for example, a rate-limit interval of 100 ms and a bucket size of 10 messages translates to 100 ICMP error messages per second. • ICMPv6 Error Rate Limit Bucket Size (1-200) - Enter the maximum number of ICMP error messages that can be sent by the device per interval. The value of this parameter together with the ICMP Error Rate Limit Interval parameter determines how many ICMP error messages may be sent per time interval, for example, a rate-limit interval of 100 ms and a bucket size of 10 messages translates to 100 ICMP error messages per second. • IPv6 Hop Limit (1-255) -Enter the maximum number of intermediate routers on its way to the final destination to which a packet can pass. Each time a packet is forwarded to another router, the hop limit is reduced. When the hop limit becomes zero, the packet is discarded. This prevents packets from being transferred endlessly. • IPv6 Link Local Default Zone Interface - Select an interface to egress a link local packet without a specified interface or with the default zone 0. IPv6 Interface To add a new IPv6 interface: 1 Click Switch Management > IPv6 Addressing > IPv6 Interface. The currently-defined IPv6 addresses on the selected interface are displayed.

IPv6 Global Parameters
To define IPv6 global parameters:
1
Click
Switch Management >
IPv6 Addressing
>
Global Parameters
.
2
Click
Edit
and enter values for the following fields:
IPv6 Routing
—Select Enable/Disable to enable/disable IPv6 routing. If
this is not enabled, the device acts as a host (not a router) and can receive
management packets, but cannot forward packets. If routing is enabled,
the device can forward the IPv6 packets.
ICMPv6 Error Rate Limit Interval (0-2147483647)
— Enter how often
the ICMPv6 error messages are generated in milliseconds. The value of
this parameter together with the Bucket Size parameter (below)
determines how many ICMP error messages may be sent per time interval,
for example, a rate-limit interval of 100 ms and a bucket size of 10
messages translates to 100 ICMP error messages per second.
ICMPv6 Error Rate Limit Bucket Size (1-200)
— Enter the maximum
number of ICMP error messages that can be sent by the device per
interval. The value of this parameter together with the
ICMP Error Rate
Limit Interval
parameter determines how many ICMP error messages may
be sent per time interval, for example, a rate-limit interval of 100 ms and a
bucket size of 10 messages translates to 100 ICMP error messages per
second.
IPv6 Hop Limit
(1-255)
—Enter the maximum number of intermediate
routers on its way to the final destination to which a packet can pass. Each
time a packet is forwarded to another router, the hop limit is reduced.
When the hop limit becomes zero, the packet is discarded. This prevents
packets from being transferred endlessly.
IPv6 Link Local Default Zone Interface
— Select an interface to egress
a link local packet without a specified interface or with the default zone 0.
IPv6 Interface
To add a new IPv6 interface:
1
