IPv6 Configuration
IPv6 is the new (128-bit) format for specifying IP addresses. The PDU’s IPv6
IP and DNS addresses can either be assigned dynamically (DHCP), or a fixed
IP address can be specified.
For dynamic IP address assignment, select the Obtain IP address
automatically radio button. (This is the default setting.)
To specify a fixed IP address, select the Set IP address manually radio
button and fill in the IP address with values appropriate for your network.
For automatic DNS Server address assignment, select the Obtain DNS
Server address automatically radio button.
To specify the DNS Server address manually, select the Set DNS server
address manually radio button, and fill in the addresses for the Preferred
and Alternate DNS servers with values appropriate for your network.
Note: 1. If you choose Obtain IP address automatically, when the device starts
up it waits to get its IP address from the DHCP server. If it hasn’t
obtained the address after one minute, it automatically reverts to its
factory default IP address (192.168.0.60.)
2. If the device is on a network that uses DHCP to assign network
addresses, and you need to ascertain its IP address, see IP Address
Determination, page 81, for information.
3. Specifying the Alternate DNS Server address is optional.
