Configure the IPv6 network settings for the local browser
interface
You can configure IPv6 network information for the local browser interface, which is the
logical interface used for in-band connectivity with the switch through any of the switch’s
front-panel ports.
To access the switch over an IPv6 network, you must initially configure the switch with IPv6
information (an IPv6 prefix, prefix length, and default gateway). You can configure IPv6 using
one of the following options:
• IPv6 auto-configuration
• DHCPv6
When in-band connectivity is established, IPv6 information can be changed using
SNMP-based management or web-based management.
To configure the IPv6 network settings for the local browser interface:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the switch on-network and
connected to the Internet on page 19 or Access the switch off-network on page 30.
The login page displays.
If the NETGEAR Business page displays, see Register and access the switch with your
NETGEAR account on page 34.
4. Enter one of the following passwords:
• After registration, enter the local device password.
By default, the local device password is password.
• If you previously managed the switch through the Insight app or Cloud portal, enter
the Insight network password for the last Insight network location.
For information about the credentials, see Credentials for the local browser interface on
page 32.
5. Click the Login button.
The System Information page displays.
6. Select System > Management > IPv6 Network Configuration.
The IPv6 Network Global Configuration page displays.
7. Ensure that the Admin Mode Enable radio button is selected.
