Using a TCP/IP Network
TCP/IP Settings (IPv6)
The following explains the procedure for specifying TCP/IPv6 settings with the
control panel. After specifying the TCP/IPv6 settings, perform the procedure in
"Confirming TCP/IP Settings (IPv6)," on p. 3-27 to confirm that the network settings
are correct.
The machine can use up to seven of the following IPv6 addresses. With IPv6
communication, multiple IPv6 addresses can be used at the same time.
IMPORTANT
You cannot use the functions of IPv6 without using the functions of IPv4.
■ Link local address (1)
An address that is only valid within the same link. A link local address is automatically set
using a specific prefix (fe80::) and an interface identifier generated from the MAC address
of the machine. When the machine is using the functions of IPv6, one link local address is
always registered.
■ Manual address (0 or 1)
A fixed address that is set from the control panel.
■ Stateless address (0 to 6)
A stateless address is automatically set using the machine's MAC address and the prefix
(information indicating the network belonged to) included in the RA (Router
Advertisement) notified by the router when the machine is started.
■ Stateful address (0 or 1)
A stateful address can be obtained from a DHCP server using DHCPv6.
