Procedure
Forming a link local address automatically
1. Enable IPv6.
2. Click the "Create" button. In the table an entry with the interface is created and the
automatically formed link local IPv6 address is displayed.
Assigning link local address
1. Enable IPv6.
2. In "IPv6 Address" enter the link local address, e.g. FE80::21B:1BFF:FE40:9155
3. Enter "128" in "Prefix Length".
4. For "IPv6 Address Type" select the entry "Link Local".
5. For "Address Configuration" select the entry "Static".
6. Click the "Create" button. In the table an entry with the interface is created and the IPv6
address is displayed.
The automatically created local address is overwritten.
On this page, you configure the IPv6 default route. The IPv6 default route is an IPv6 route,
that applies to all IPv6 addresses. The device only needs to know the default gateway and
sends all IPv6 packets to it.
The default gateway either knows all routes itself or has a default route to another default
gateway.
