This section describes how to assign IPv6 address to the IB-53.
IB-53 can have up to 8 IPv6 addresses as shown below.
Link Local Address: 1
Manual Configuration Address: 1
Stateful Address (DHCPv6): 1
Stateless Address (Router Advertisement): 5
When completed the address configuration, refer to Check IP Address to check that the IP address has properly been configured.
IB-53 has the IPv6 link local address in the format below.
Format: FE80:0:0:0:2C0:EEFF:FExx:yyzz
"xxyyzz" is the last 6 digit number included in the IB-53's MAC Address.
Example: When the MAC Address is "00:C0:EE:11:22:33", it is "FE80:0:0:0:2C0:EEFF:FE11:2233".
Enclose the IPv6 address with "[ ]" before you enter it to the address bar of the Web browser.
Example: http://[FE80:0:0:0:2C0:EEFF:FE11:2233]/
When there is an IPv6 router in the local network, IB-53 can receive the router notification message (Router Advertisement) and obtain the IPv6 address automatically.
Stateless address auto configuration can be enabled/disabled from the IB-53's Web page. For details, refer to Using a Web Browser to Manage the IB-53.
IB-53 allows the stateful address configuration using the DHCPv6 and obtains the DNS server address automatically.
DHCPv6 can be enabled / disabled from the IB-53's Web page. For details, refer to Using a Web Browser to Manage the IB-53.

Disable the DHCPv6 when there are no DHCPv6 servers on the network. |
If the IP address has already been configured, the network settings can be seen by printing a network status page.
The network status page will show various information regarding the IB-53 including the IP address. It is useful for daily network management or troubleshooting.
For details on how to print a network status page, refer to Printing a Status Page.
