Auto-configuration: Enable Auto-configuration for the Managed Switch to get IPv6
address automatically or disable it for manual configuration.
IPv6 Link-local Address/Prefix length: The Managed Switch will form a link-local address
from its MAC address and the link-local prefix FE80::/10. This is done by putting the prefix
into the leftmost bits and the MAC address (in EUI-64 format) into the rightmost bits, and if
there are any bits left in between, those are set to zero.
IPv6 Global Address/Prefix length: This is done in the same fashion as the link-local
address, but instead of the link-local prefix FE80:: it will use the prefix supplied by the router
and put it together with its identifier (which by default is the MAC address in EUI-64 format).
IPv6 Gateway: Specify the IP address of a gateway or a router, which is responsible for the
delivery of the IP packets sent by the Managed Switch. This address is required when the
Managed Switch and the network management station are on different networks or subnets.
DHCPv6: Enable or disable DHCPv6 function
Disable: Disable DHCPv6.
Enable auto mode: Configure DHCPv6 function in auto mode.
Enable force mode: Configure DHCPv6 function in force mode.
Rapid Commit: Check to enable Rapid Commit which allows the server and client to use a
two-message exchange to configure clients, rather than the default four-message exchange,
DHCPv6 unique identifier (DUID): View-only field shows The DHCP Unique Identifier
(DUID).
Current State: This View-only field shows currently assigned IPv6 address (by auto-
configuration or manual) and Gateway of the Managed Switch.
