LABEL DESCRIPTION
VID Enter the ID number of the VLAN to which the DHCPv6 server that will assign IP information
belongs here.
Helper Address Enter the IPv6 address of the DHCPv6 server that will assign IP information here.
An 128-bit IPv6 address is written as eight 16-bit hexadecimal blocks separated by colons (:). This
is an example IPv6 address ‘2001:0db8:1a2b:0015:0000:0000:1a2f:0000’.
IPv6 addresses can be abbreviated in two ways:
• Leading zeros in a block can be omitted. So ‘2001:0db8:1a2b:0015:0000:0000:1a2f:0000’ can
be written as ‘2001:db8:1a2b:15:0:0:1a2f:0’.
• Any number of consecutive blocks of zeros can be replaced by a double colon. A double
colon can only appear once in an IPv6 address. So
‘2001:0db8:0000:0000:1a2f:0000:0000:0015’ can be written as
‘2001:0db8::1a2f:0000:0000:0015’, ‘2001:0db8:0000:0000:1a2f::0015’, ‘2001:db8::1a2f:0:0:15’
or ‘2001:db8:0:0:1a2f::15’.
Interface ID Enable the switch button to have the Switch add the interface-ID option in the DHCPv6 requests
from the clients in the specified VLAN before the Switch forwards them to a DHCPv6 server.
