ProSAFE Dual-Band Wireless AC Access Points WAC720 and WAC730
Configure IPv6 Settings
The wireless access point supports IPv6. You can manage the wireless access point from an
IPv6 address. The wireless access point can also function as an IPv6 DHCP client.
Note: For information about how to configure the IPv4 settings, see
Configure the IPv4 Settings on page 18.
WARNING:
If you enable the DHCP client, the IP address of the wireless access
point changes when you click the Apply button, causing you to lose
your connection to the wireless access point. You then must use
the new IP address to reconnect to the wireless access point.
Tip: If you enable the DHCP client on the wireless access point, you can
discover the new IP address of the wireless access point by
accessing the DHCP server on your LAN, or by using a network IP
address scanner application.
 To configure the IPv6 settings:
1. Select Configuration > IP > IPv6 Settings.
2. Configure the IPv6 settings as explained in the following table:

when you connect the wireless access point to your LAN.
