IPv6 Management Features
The PowerConnect M6220/M6348/M8024 switch software includes several enhancements to the IPv6
management feature. You can assign either an IPv4 or IPv6 address to the management interface. In
previous software releases, the management port supported IPv6 addresses, but only when the switch
received its IPv6 addressing and gateway definitions through auto-configuration when connected to an
IPv6 router on the management network. Support for host name mapping to a host with an IPv6 address
is also present.
To displ ay t he IPv6 Management Interface page, click System > IP Addressing > IPv6 Address
Management in the tree view.
Figure 6-33. IPv6 Address Management
The IPv6 Address Management page contains the following fields:
•
IPv6 Mode
—Enables or disables IPv6 mode on the management interface.
•
Network Configuration Protocol
— Specify whether to use DHCP for dynamic IPv6 address
assignment. If you select None, you can configure a static IPv6 address.
•
IPv6 Stateless Address AutoConfig Mode
— Enable or disable IPv6 auto address configuration on the
interface. When IPv6 AutoConfig Mode is enabled, automatic IPv6 address configuration and gateway
configuration is allowed by processing the Router Advertisements received on the management
interface.
•
DHCPv6 Client DUID
— This is a read-only field that contains a unique ID generated from the
MAC address when the DHCPv6 client is enabled. To get the value for this field, set the network
protocol to DHCP.
