Chapter 33 IPv6 Commands
Ethernet Switch CLI Reference Guide

IPv6 is installed and enabled by default in Windows Vista. Use the “ipconfig” command to
check your automatic configured IPv6 address as well. You should see at least one IPv6
address available for the interface on your computer.
33.5 Example - HTTP Accessing the Switch Using IPv6
How you access the Switch using HTTP varies depending on the operating system (OS) and
the type of browser you use and the type of address you want to access.
It’s recommended to use Internet Explorer 7.0 or FireFox to access the
Switch’s web GUI.
This example shows you how to access the Switch using HTTP on Windows XP.
1 Make sure you have enabled IPv6 on your computer (see Section 33.4). Use the
ipconfig command in the command prompt to check the IPv6 address on your
computer. The example uses an interface with address “fe80::2d0:59ff:feb8:103c” to

A link-local address Use http://address
The address should be converted using the following procedure.
1. Use a dash “-” to replace each colon “:” in an IPv6 address.
2. Append the Ethernet interface identifier you want to use to connect to the
Switch. But replace the percentage character “%” with “s”.
3. Append “.ipv6-literal.net” at the end.
For example, the Switch uses an address fe80::1234:5678. The Ethernet
interface identifier you want to use on your computer to access the Switch is %4.
You have to type the following to access the Switch.
http://fe80--1234-5678-1s4.ipv6-literal.net.
A global address Use http://[address]
For example, http://[fe80--1234-5678-1]
