8.10.2 IPv6 Configuration
Use this screen to configure IPv6 settings on the Switch. Click the
IPv6 Configuration
link in the
Basic
Setting
>
IPv6
screen. The following screen opens.
Number of
DAD Attempts
This field displays the number of consecutive neighbor solicitations the Switch sends for this
interface.
NS-Interval
(millisecond)
This field displays the time interval (in milliseconds) at which neighbor solicitations are re-sent for
this interface.
ND Reachable
Time
(millisecond)
This field displays how long (in milliseconds) a neighbor is considered reachable for this interface.
DHCPv6 Client
Active
This field displays whether the Switch acts as a DHCPv6 client to get an IPv6 address from a
DHCPv6 server.
Identity
Association
An Identity Association (IA) is a collection of addresses assigned to a DHCP client, through which
the server and client can manage a set of related IP addresses. Each IA must be associated with
exactly one interface.
IA Type
The IA type is the type of address in the IA. Each IA holds one type of address.
IA_NA
means an
identity association for non-temporary addresses and
IA_TA
is an identity association for
temporary addresses.
IAID
Each IA consists of a unique IAID and associated IP information.
T1
This field displays the DHCPv6 T1 timer. After T1, the Switch sends the DHCPv6 server a Renew
message.
An IA_NA option contains the T1 and T2 fields, but an IA_TA option does not. The DHCPv6 server
uses T1 and T2 to control the time at which the client contacts with the server to extend the
lifetimes on any addresses in the IA_NA before the lifetimes expire.
T2
This field displays the DHCPv6 T2 timer. If the time T2 is reached and the server does not respond,
the Switch sends a Rebind message to any available server.
State
This field displays the state of the TA. It shows
Active
when the Switch obtains addresses from a DHCpv6 server and the TA is created.
Renew
when the TA’s address lifetime expires and the Switch sends out a Renew message.
Rebind
when the Switch doesn’t receive a response from the original DHCPv6 server and sends
out a Rebind message to another DHCPv6 server.
SID
This field displays the DHCPv6 server’s unique ID.
Address
This field displays the Switch’s global address which is assigned by the DHCPv6 server.
Preferred
Lifetime
This field displays how long (in seconds) that the global address remains preferred.
Valid
Lifetime
This field displays how long (in seconds) that the global address is valid.
DNS
This field displays the DNS server address assigned by the DHCPv6 server.
Domain List
This field displays the address record when the Switch queries the DNS server to resolve domain
names.
Restart
DHCPv6 Client

to send a new DHCP request to the DHCPv6 server and update the IPv6 address
and DNS information for this interface.
