If a dynamic IP address is retrieved from the DHCP server, enter the following 
fields: 
• DHCP Force Auto Configuration—Check Enable to force the switch to 
perform auto configuration that will renew IP address from a DHCP server. 
The switch dynamic IP address can be renewed any time after it is assigned 
by a DHCP server. Note that depending on your DHCP server configuration, 
the switch may receive a new IP address after the renewal that requires 
setting the web-based interface to the new IP address. 
• Auto Configuration via DHCP—Displays whether the DHCP Auto 
Configuration feature is enabled or disabled. You can configure this feature 
on the Administration > File Management > DHCP Auto Configuration page. 
STEP  3 Click Apply. The IPv4 interface settings are defined, and the Running Configuration 
is updated.
IPv6 Management and Interface
The switch supports one IPv6 interface. In additional to the default link local and 
Multicast addresses, the switch also automatically adds global addresses to the 
interface based on the router advertisements that it receives. Each address must 
be a valid IPv6 address that is specified in hexadecimal format by using 16-bit 
values separated by colons. 
To assign an IPv6 address to the IPv6 Interface:
STEP 1 Click Administration > Management Interface > IPv6 Interface. 
STEP  2 Check Enable next to IPv6 Address Auto Configuration field to automatically 
assign IPv6 addresses by the DHCPv6 server, or uncheck to disable this feature. 
STEP  3 Check Enable next to the DHCPv6 field to enable the DHCPv6 server, or uncheck 
to disable this feature. 
STEP  4 If you disable DHCPv6 and IPv6 Address Auto Configuration, manually enter the 
following fields: 
• IPv6 Address—Enter the IPv6 address of the switch. 
• Prefix_Length—Enter the length of the global IPv6 prefix of the switch. 
• IPv6 Gateway—Enter the link local IPv6 address of the default router.
