When IPv4 addressing is used, the initial value for this field is acquired from the BMC. The
setting of IP Source determines whether this field is display-only (when Dynamic) or can be
edited (when Static).
When IPv6 addressing is enabled, this field is grayed out and inactive.

Option Values: Enabled
Disabled
Help Text:
Option to Enable/Disable IPv6 addressing and any IPv6 network traffic on these
channels.
Comments: The initial value for this field is acquired from the BMC. It may be
changed in order to switch between IPv4 and IPv6 addressing technologies.
When this option is set to Disabled, all other IPv6 fields will not be visible for the Baseboard
LAN and Intel
®
RMM4 DMN (if installed). When IPv6 addressing is Enabled, all IPv6 fields for
the Baseboard LAN and Intel
®
RMM4 DMN will become visible, and all IPv4 fields will be
grayed out and inactive.

6. IPv6 Source
Option Values: Static
Dynamic
Auto
Help Text:
Select BMC IPv6 source: If [Static], IPv6 parameters may be edited. If [Dynamic], these
fields are display-only and IPv6 address is acquired automatically (DHCP). If [Auto],
these fields are display-only and IPv6 address is acquired using ICMPv6 router /
neighbor discovery.
Comments: This specifies the IP Source for IPv6 addressing for the Baseboard LAN
configuration. There is a separate IPv6 Source field for the Intel
®
RMM4 LAN configuration.
This option is only visible when the IPv6 option is set to Enabled.
When IPv6 addressing is Enabled, the initial value for this field is acquired from the BMC, and
its setting determines whether the other Baseboard LAN IPv6 addressing fields are display-only
(when Dynamic or Auto) or can be edited (when Static).
