Configuring IPv6
IPv6 hosts can automatically configure themselves when connected to a routed IPv6 network using
the Internet Control Message Protocol Version 6 (ICMPv6). ICMPv6 performs error reporting for IP
along with other diagnostic functions. When first connected to a network, a host sends a link-local
multicast router solicitation request for configuration parameters. If suitably configured, routers
respond to this request with a router advertisement packet containing network-layer configuration
parameters.

SLP
Printers use Service Location Protocol (SLP) to announce and look up services on a local network
without prior configuration. When SLP is enabled, the printer becomes a Service Agent (SA) and
announces its services to User Agents (UA) on the network using SLP.
Directory Agents (DA) are components that cache services. They are used in larger networks to reduce
the amount of traffic. DAs are optional. If a DA is present, then User Agents (UAs) and System Agents
(SAs) are required to use it instead of communicating directly with the printer.
Note: When configuring settings in Properties, you will be prompted to enter the Administrator
