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 an IP Address” on
page 56.
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. A link-local address must be manually configured, but a
global unicast address can either be manually configured or dynamically
assigned.
