GS716Tv3, GS724Tv4, and GS748Tv5 Smart Switches IPv6 Network Configuration Use the IPv6 Network Configuration screen to configure the IPv6 network interface, which is the logical interface used for in-band connectivity with the switch through all of the switch's front-panel ports. The configuration parameters associated with the switch's network interface do not affect the configuration of the front panel ports through which traffic is switched or routed. To access the switch over an IPv6 network, you must initially configure the switch with IPv6 information (IPv6 prefix, prefix length, and default gateway). IPv6 can be configured using any of the following options: • IPv6 auto configuration • DHCPv6 When in-band connectivity is established, IPv6 information can be changed using SNMP-based management or web-based management  To configure the network information for an IPv6 network: 1. Select System > Management > IPv6 Network Configuration. 2. Next to Admin Mode, ensure that the Enable radio button is selected. 3. Determine how the switch acquires an IPv6 address: • IPv6 Address Auto Configuration Mode. When this mode is enabled, the network interface can acquire an IPv6 address through IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) and through the use of router advertisement messages. When this mode is disabled, the network interface will not use the native IPv6 address auto configuration features to acquire an IPv6 address. Auto configuration can be enabled only when DHCPv6 is not enabled on any of the management interfaces. • DHCPv6. Next to Current Network Configuration Protocol, select DHCPv6 to enable the DHCPv6 client on the interface. The switch attempts to acquire network information from a DHCPv6 server. Selecting None disables the DHCPv6 client on the network interface. When DHCPv6 is enabled, the DHCPv6 Client DUID field displays the client identifier used by the DHCPv6 client (if enabled) when sending messages to the DHCPv6 server. 4. In the IPv6 Gateway field, specify the default gateway for the IPv6 network interface. The gateway address is in IPv6 global or link-local address format. 5. (Optional) Configure one or more static IPv6 addresses for the management interface. a. In the IPv6 Prefix/Prefix Length field, specify the static IPv6 prefix and prefix to the IPv6 network interface. The address is in the global address format. b. In the EUI64 list, select True to enable the Extended Universal Identifier (EUI) flag for IPv6 address, or select False to omit the EUI flag. c. Click the Add button. 6. Click the Apply button.

IPv6 Network Configuration
Use the IPv6 Network Configuration screen to configure the IPv6 network interface, which is
the logical interface used for in-band connectivity with the switch through all of the switch’s
front-panel ports. The configuration parameters associated with the switch’s network
interface do not affect the configuration of the front panel ports through which traffic is
switched or routed.
To access the switch over an IPv6 network, you must initially configure the switch with IPv6
information (IPv6 prefix, prefix length, and default gateway). IPv6 can be configured using
any of the following options:
IPv6 auto configuration
DHCPv6
When in-band connectivity is established, IPv6 information can be changed using
SNMP-based management or web-based management
To configure the network information for an IPv6 network:
1.
Select
System
>
Management
>
IPv6 Network Configuration
.
2.
Next to Admin Mode, ensure that the
Enable
radio button is selected.
3.
Determine how the switch acquires an IPv6 address:
IPv6 Address Auto Configuration Mode
. When this mode is enabled, the network
interface can acquire an IPv6 address through IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol
(NDP) and through the use of router advertisement messages. When this mode is
disabled, the network interface will not use the native IPv6 address auto configuration
features to acquire an IPv6 address. Auto configuration can be enabled only when
DHCPv6 is not enabled on any of the management interfaces.
DHCPv6
. Next to Current Network Configuration Protocol, select
DHCPv6
to enable
the DHCPv6 client on the interface. The switch attempts to acquire network
information from a DHCPv6 server. Selecting None disables the DHCPv6 client on
the network interface. When DHCPv6 is enabled, the DHCPv6 Client DUID field
displays the client identifier used by the DHCPv6 client (if enabled) when sending
messages to the DHCPv6 server.
4.
In the IPv6 Gateway field, specify the default gateway for the IPv6 network interface.
The gateway address is in IPv6 global or link-local address format.
5.
(Optional) Configure one or more static IPv6 addresses for the management interface.
a.
In the IPv6 Prefix/Prefix Length field, specify the static IPv6 prefix and prefix to the
IPv6 network interface.
The address is in the global address format.
b.
In the EUI64 list, select
True
to enable the Extended Universal Identifier (EUI) flag
for IPv6 address, or select
False
to omit the EUI flag.
c.
Click the
Add
button.
