The following input conditions apply:

xxx: 1 - 255 for the top field (decimal)
xxx: 0 - 255 for other fields (decimal)
• iSNS Server (IPv6 Address)
When "iSNS Server" is "IPv6", input the IPv6 address for the iSNS server.
The following IPv6 addresses can be used; "link local address", "global address", "unique local
address", and "6to4 address". Refer to "Available IPv6 Address" (page 757)
for details. Note that the

bandwidth or the switch buffer size. However, if a long transmission delay occurs, performance
may be improved. Perform sufficient verification of the network environment before specifying
"Disable" for the congestion control option.
