Setting the Switch’s IP Address (IP Version 6)
– 625 –
Configuring the
IPv6 Default Gateway
Use the IP > IPv6 Configuration (Configure Global) page to configure an IPv6
default gateway for the switch.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
◆ Default Gateway – Sets the IPv6 address of the default next hop router to use
when no routing information is known about an IPv6 address.
■
If no routing protocol is enabled or static route defined, you must define a
gateway if the target device is located in a different subnet.
■
If a routing protocol is enabled (page 697), you can still define a static route
(page 681) to ensure that traffic to the designated address or subnet passes
through a preferred gateway.
■
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.
■
An IPv6 address must be configured according to RFC 2373 “IPv6
Addressing Architecture,” using 8 colon-separated 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.
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.
