Chapter 8 Basic Setting The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 22 Basic Setting > IPv6 > IPv6 Configuration > IPv6 Interface Setup LABEL DESCRIPTION Interface Select the IPv6 interface you want to configure. Active Select this option to enable the interface. Address Autoconfig Select this option to allow the interface to automatically generate a link-local address via stateless autoconfiguration. Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch's run-time memory. The Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the nonvolatile memory when you are done configuring. Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh. Clear Click Clear to reset the fields to the factory defaults. Index This is the interface index number. Click on an index number to change the settings. Interface This is the name of the IPv6 interface you created. Active This field displays whether the IPv6 interface is activated or not. Address Autoconfig This field displays whether stateless autoconfiguration is enabled on the interface. 8.10.5 IPv6 Link-Local Address Setup A link-local address uniquely identifies a device on the local network (the LAN). It is similar to a "private IP address" in IPv4. You can have the same link-local address on multiple interfaces on a device. A link-local unicast address has a predefined prefix of fe80::/10. Use this screen to configure the interface's link-local address and default gateway. Click the link next to IPv6 Link-Local Address Setup in the IPv6 Configuration screen to display the screen as shown next. Figure 60 Basic Setting > IPv6 > IPv6 Configuration > IPv6 Link-Local Address Setup The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 23 Basic Setting > IPv6 > IPv6 Configuration > IPv6 Link-Local Address Setup LABEL DESCRIPTION Interface Select the IPv6 interface you want to configure. Link-Local Address Manually configure a static IPv6 link-local address for the interface. Default Gateway Set the default gateway IPv6 address for the interface. When an interface cannot find a routing information for a frame's destination, it forwards the packet to the default gateway. GS1920 Series User's Guide 79
