Client Id — Manually enter the client ID for the DHCP client.
Static IP — To configure a static IPv6 address for the Internet access port,
the following items must be specified.
IP Address — Specifies an IPv6 address for the access point. An IPv6
address must be configured according to RFC 2373 using 8 colon
se
parated 16-bit hexadecimal values. One double colon may be used
in the address to indicate the appropriate number of zeros required to
fill the undefined fields.
Default Gateway — The IPv6 address of the default gateway, which is
used if the requested destination address is not on the local subnet.
DNS — The IPv6 address of Domain Name Servers on the network. A
DNS maps numerical IPv6 addresses to domain names and can be

the IPv6 address in the text field provided.
