19. Select OK to save the changes to the IPv4 configuration. Select Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
20. Select the IPv6 tab to set IPv6 settings for this virtual interface.
IPv6 is the latest revision of the Internet Protocol (IP) designed to replace IPv4. IPV6 provides enhanced identification and
location information for computers on networks routing traffic across the Internet. IPv6 addresses are composed of eight
groups of four hexadecimal digits separated by colons. IPv6 hosts can configure themselves automatically when connected
to an IPv6 network using the neighbor discovery protocol via ICMPv6 router discovery messages. When first connected to
a network, a host sends a link-local router solicitation multicast request for its configuration parameters; routers respond
to such a request with a router advertisement packet that contains Internet layer configuration parameters

Zero configuration can be a means of providing a primary or secondary IP addresses for the
virtual interface. Zero configuration (or zero config) is a wireless connection utility included
with Microsoft Windows XP and later as a service dynamically selecting a network to connect
based on a user's preferences and various default settings. Zero config can be used instead
of a wireless network utility from the manufacturer of a computer's wireless networking
device. This value is set to None by default.
Primary IP Address Define the IP address for the VLAN associated Virtual Interface.
Use DHCP to Obtain IP Select this option to allow DHCP to provide the IP address for the Virtual Interface. Selecting
this option disables the Primary IP address field.

one virtual interface. This setting is disabled by default and only available when the Use
DHCP to Obtain IP option is selected.
Secondary Addresses Use the Secondary Addresses parameter to define additional IP addresses to associate with
VLAN IDs. The address provided in this field is used if the primary IP address is unreachable.
