â–
An IPv6 default gateway must be defined if the management station
is located in a different IPv6 segment.

An IPv6 default gateway can only be successfully set when a
network interface that directly connects to the gateway has been
configured on the switch.
WEB INTERFACE
To configure an IPv6 default gateway for the switch:
1. Click IP, IPv6 Configuration.
2. Select Configure Global from the Action list.
3. Enter the IPv6 default gateway.
4. Click Apply.

interface address.

COMMAND USAGE
â—† The switch must always be configured with a link-local address. The
switch’s address auto-configuration function will automatically create a
link-local address, as well as an IPv6 global address if router
advertisements are detected on the local interface.
â—† The option to explicitly enable IPv6 will also create a link-local address,
but will not generate a global IPv6 address if auto-configuration is not
enabled. In this case, you must manually configure an address (see
"Configuring an IPv6 Address" on page 450).
