8.10.6 IPv6 Link- Loc a l Addre ss Se tup
A link-local address uniquely identifies a device on the local network (the LAN). It is similar to a “private IP
address” in IPv4. You can have the same link-local address on multiple interfaces on a device. A link-
local unicast address has a predefined prefix of fe80::/10.
Use this screen to configure the interface’s link-local address and default gateway. Click the link next to
IPv6 Link- Lo c a l A ddre ss Se tup in the IPv6 Config ura tio n screen to display the screen as shown next.

Set the default gateway IPv6 address for the interface. When an interface cannot find a routing
information for a frame’s destination, it forwards the packet to the default gateway.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses these
changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Sa ve link on the top navigation panel to save
your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel Click C a nc e l to begin configuring this screen afresh.
Clear Click Cle a r to reset the fields to the factory defaults.
Index This is the interface index number. Click an index number to change the settings.
Interface This is the name of the IPv6 interface you created.
IPv6 Link-Local
