DESCRIPTION
Interface
Select the IPv6 interface you want to configure.
Flags
Select the Managed Config Flag option to have the Switch set the “managed address
configuration” flag (the M flag) to 1 in IPv6 router advertisements, which means IPv6
hosts use DHCPv6 to obtain IPv6 stateful addresses. Deselect the option to set the flag
to 0 and the host will not use DHCPv6 to obtain IPv6 stateful addresses.
Select the Other Config Flag option to have the Switch set the “Other stateful
configuration” flag (the O flag) to 1 in IPv6 router advertisements, which means IPv6
hosts use DHCPv6 to obtain additional configuration settings, such as DNS
information. Deselect the option to set the flag to 0 and the host will not use DHCPv6
to obtain additional configuration settings.
Minimum Interval
Specify the minimum time interval (from 3 to 1350 seconds) at which the Switch
sends router advertisements for this interface.
Note: The minimum time interval cannot be greater than three-quarters of the maximum
time interval.
Maximum Interval
Specify the maximum time interval (from 4 to 1800 seconds) at which the Switch
sends router advertisements for this interface.
Lifetime
Specify how long (from 0 to 9000 seconds) the router in router advertisements can be
used as a default router for this interface.
Suppress
Select this option to set the Switch to not send router advertisements and responses
to router solicitations on this interface.
Apply
Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses
these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top
navigation panel to save your changes to the nonvolatile memory when you are done
configuring.
Cancel
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
Clear
Click Clear to reset the fields to the factory defaults.
Index
This is the interface index number. Click on an index number to change the settings.
