A VLAN must exist to perform this procedure.
IPv6 is the latest revision of the Internet Protocol (IP), designed to replace IPv4. IPV6 provides enhanced identification and location information for computers on networks routing traffic across the Internet. IPv6 addresses are composed of eight groups of four hexadecimal digits separated by colons. IPv6 hosts can configure themselves automatically when connected to an IPv6 network using the neighbor discovery protocol via ICMPv6 router discovery messages. When first connected to a network, a host sends a link-local router solicitation multicast request for its configuration parameters; routers respond to such a request with a router advertisement packet that contains Internet layer configuration parameters.
Use this procedure to configure a VLAN to use IPv6 protocol.
- Go to . Select a VLAN in the Virtual table.
- Select the IPV6 tab, and configure the parameters as described in VLAN IPV6 Parameters.
Table 1. VLAN IPV6 Parameters| Parameter | Description |
|---|
| Address Autoconfiguration | When enabled, configured prefixes are used for IPv6 address generation. The autoconfiguration option is disabled by default. |
| Stateless DHCPV6 | Configures stateless DHCPv6 client on this interface. When enabled, the device can request configuration information from the DHCPv6 server using stateless DHCPv6. This option is disabled by default. |
| Request DHCPV6 Options | Requests options from DHCPv6 server on this interface. This option is disabled by default. |
| ICMPV6 Redirect | Requests options from DHCPv6 server on this interface. This option is disabled by default. |
| Prefix Delegation | Configures prefix-delegation client on this interface. Enter the IPv6 general prefix name (32 character maximum) provided by the service provider. This option is disabled by default. |
