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 - The IP address is a globally unique IPv6 address; visible and reachable from other subnets. - IP 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, select to enable the EUI-64 option, which disables the Prefix Length text box.

To enable IPv6 support on this interface, click
Edit, Add
and enter the
following fields:
Interface
— Select the interface for the address to be defined on.
IPv6 Address Type
— Select the type of IP address 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
— The IP address is a globally unique IPv6 address; visible
and reachable from other subnets
.
IP 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, select to enable the EUI-64
option, which disables the Prefix Length text box.
