IPv6 Address Configuration

This section describes how to assign IPv6 address to the IB-54.
IB-54 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.


Auto IP Address Configuration Using Link Local Address

IB-54 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-54'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]/


Stateless Address Auto Configuration

When there is an IPv6 router in the local network, IB-54 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-54's Web page. For details, refer to Using a Web Browser to Manage the IB-54.


Stateful Address Auto Configuration

IB-54 allows the stateful address configuration using the DHCPv6 and obtains the DNS server address automatically.
DHCPv6 can be enabled / disabled from the IB-54's Web page. For details, refer to Using a Web Browser to Manage the IB-54.

Disable the DHCPv6 when there are no DHCPv6 servers on the network.

Check IP Address

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-54 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.
