Description
IPv6 Address
The IPv6 address of the interface. An IPv6 address is in 128-bit records represented
as eight fields of up to four hexadecimal digits with a colon separating each field
(:). For example, fe80::215:c5ff:fe03:4dc7. The symbol :: is a special syntax that can
be used as a shorthand way of representing multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous
zeros; but it can appear only once.
System accepts the valid IPv6 unicast address only, except IPv4-Compatible
address and IPv4-Mapped address.
This field may be left blank if IPv6 operation on the interface is not desired.
IPv6 Mask
The IPv6 network mask, in number of bits (
prefix length
). Valid values are between 1
and 128 bits for an IPv6 address.
This field may be left blank if IPv6 operation on the interface is not desired.
Resolving IPv6 DAD The link-local address is formed from an interface identifier based on the hardware
address which is supposed to be uniquely assigned. Once the DAD (Duplicate
Address Detection) detects the address duplication, the operation on the interface
SHOULD be disabled.
At this moment, manual intervention is required to resolve the address duplication.
For example, check whether the loop occurs in the VLAN or there is indeed other
device occupying the same hardware address as the device in the VLAN.
After making sure the specific link-local address is unique on the IPv6 link in use,
delete and then add the specific IPv6 interface to restart the IPv6 operations on
this interface.
Gateway
Input gateway address .
