Setting the Switch’s IP Address (IP Version 6)
– 568 –
Renewing DCHP – DHCP may lease addresses to clients indefinitely or for
a specific period of time. If the address expires or the switch is moved to
another network segment, you will lose management access to the switch.
In this case, you can reboot the switch or submit a client request to restart
DHCP service via the CLI.
If the address assigned by DHCP is no longer functioning, you will not be
able to renew the IP settings via the web interface. You can only restart
DHCP service via the web interface if the current address is still available.
To show the IPv4 address configured for an interface:
1. Click System, IP.
2. Select Configure Interface from the Step list.
3. Select Show Address from the Action list.
4. Select an entry from the VLAN list.

SETTING THE SWITCH’S IP ADDRESS (IP VERSION 6)
This section describes how to configure an IPv6 interface for management
access over the network. This switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6, and can
be managed through either of these address types. For information on
configuring the switch with an IPv4 address, see "Setting the Switch’s IP
Address (IP Version 4)" on page 564.
COMMAND USAGE
IPv6 includes two distinct address types – link-local unicast and global
unicast. A link-local address makes the switch accessible over IPv6 for all
devices attached to the same local subnet. Management traffic using this
kind of address cannot be passed by any router outside of the subnet. A
link-local address is easy to set up, and may be useful for simple networks
or basic troubleshooting tasks. However, to connect to a larger network
with multiple segments, the switch must be configured with a global
unicast address. Both link-local and global unicast address types can either
be dynamically assigned (using the Configure Interface page) or manually
configured (using the Add IPv6 Address page).
