Item Description
An IP address uniquely identifies a node on a TCP/IP network. Duplicate IP addresses on a
TCP/IP network are not allowed.
Subnet Mask If subnetting is used, use this field to manually assign a subnet mask. A subnet mask is a 32-
bit number that, when applied to an IP address, determines which bits specify the network and
subnet, and which bits uniquely specify the node. It is entered in dotted decimal format “n.n.n.n”,
where ‘n’ is a number from 0 to 255.
Default Gateway Identifies the IP address of a router or computer that is used to connect to other networks or
subnetworks. It is entered in dotted decimal format “n.n.n.n”, where ‘n’ is a number from 0 to
255.
TCP/IP(v6)
Use the TCP/IP(v6) tab to enable IPv6 operation, view IPv6 auto-configuration addresses, or manually
configure IPv6 addresses. For basic information on IPv6 addresses on the print server, see
TCP/IP
Configuration on page 17. For additional parameters that can be configured, see the Advanced tab.
Table 4-6 TCP/IP(v6) tab
Item Description
IPv6 Enable Enter a check mark in this checkbox to enable IPv6 operation. Clear this checkbox to
disable IPv6.
Link-Local Address (Read only parameter) This item specifies the print server's IPv6 link-local address and
prefix length. Like other IPv6 hosts, the print server configures this address
automatically. The link-local address allows the print server to communicate with other
IPv6 hosts on the local link without routers.
Stateless Addresses (Read only parameters) The stateless addresses (and prefix lengths) configured on the
print server are listed. Stateless addresses are assigned under the control of a router.
DHCPv6 Addresses This section allows you to configure the DHCPv6 policy that the print server uses for
stateful addresses, assigned by a DHCPv6 server.
To set the DHCPv6 policy, select one of the following:
●
Perform DHCPv6 only when requested by a router: Allow the router to control
stateful addressing.
●
Perform DHCPv6 when stateless configuration is unsuccessful: Attempt to
use DHCPv6 if stateless addressing by a router fails.
●
Always perform DHCPv6 on startup: The print server should always attempt
DHCPv6 for configuration each time it is powered on.
If DHCPv6 is used for stateful addressing, the addresses (and associated prefixes)
configured on the print server will be listed.
Manual Address Use this section to manually configure an IPv6 address on the print server, and to enable
or disable the address.
Check the Enable checkbox to enable an IPv6 address that has been manually
configured. Clear this checkbox to disable the address, which is the default setting.
Use the Address and Prefix length fields to enter an IPv6 address and its prefix length.
If IPv6 address prefixes (for example, supplied by a router) have been stored on the
print server, you can select a prefix from the Prefix field, and then click Add to copy the
prefix into the Address field. Then enter the remainder of the address.
