Chapter 2: Installation and Configuration

Configure the IPv6 Settings
1. If using IPv6, enter or select the appropriate IPv6-specific network
settings in the IPv6 section:
a. Select the IPv6 checkbox to activate the fields in the section and
enable IPv6 on the device.
b. Enter a Global/Unique IP Address. This is the IP address
assigned to the KX II.
c. Enter the Prefix Length. This is the number of bits used in the
IPv6 address.
d. Enter the Gateway IP Address.
e. Link-Local IP Address. This address is automatically assigned to
the device, and is used for neighbor discovery or when no
routers are present. Read-Only
f. Zone ID. Identifies the device the address is associated with.
Read-Only
g. Select an IP Auto Configuration option:
None (Static IP) - this option requires you manually specify the
network parameters.
This is the recommended option because the KX II is an
infrastructure device, and its IP address should not change.
Select this option if you want to ensure redundant failover
capabilities should the primary Ethernet port (or the switch/router
to which it is connected) fail. If it fails, KX III switches to the
secondary network port with the same IP address, ensuring their
is no interruption.
If None is selected, the following Network Basic Settings fields
are enabled: Global/Unique IP Address, Prefix Length, and
Gateway IP Address allowing you to manually set the IP
configuration.
Router Discovery - use this option to automatically assign IPv6
addresses that have Global or Unique Local significance beyond
that of the Link Local, which only applies to a directly connected
subnet.
2. Next, configure DNS settings.
Configure the DNS Settings
1. Select Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically if DHCP is
selected and Obtain DNS Server Address is enabled. When Obtain
DNS Server Address Automatically, the DNS information provided by
the DHCP server will be used.
