LABEL DESCRIPTION
Interface Select the IPv6 interface you want to configure.
Flags Select the Managed Config Flag option to have the Switch set the “managed address
configuration” flag (the M flag) to 1 in IPv6 router advertisements, which means IPv6
hosts use DHCPv6 to obtain IPv6 stateful addresses. Deselect the option to set the flag
to 0 and the host will not use DHCPv6 to obtain IPv6 stateful addresses.
Select the Other Config Flag option to have the Switch set the “Other stateful
configuration” flag (the O flag) to 1 in IPv6 router advertisements, which means IPv6
hosts use DHCPv6 to obtain additional configuration settings, such as DNS
information. Deselect the option to set the flag to 0 and the host will not use DHCPv6
to obtain additional configuration settings.
Minimum Interval Specify the minimum time interval (from 3 to 1350 seconds) at which the Switch
sends router advertisements for this interface.
Note: The minimum time interval cannot be greater than three-quarters of the maximum
time interval.
Maximum Interval Specify the maximum time interval (from 4 to 1800 seconds) at which the Switch
sends router advertisements for this interface.
Lifetime Specify how long (from 0 to 9000 seconds) the router in router advertisements can be
used as a default router for this interface.
Suppress Select this option to set the Switch to not send router advertisements and responses
to router solicitations on this interface.
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 Save link on the top
navigation panel to save your changes to the nonvolatile memory when you are done
configuring.
