IPv6 configuration

Method by which an interface is assigned an IPv6 address.

Static

Specify the IP address.

IPv6/Prefix: IPv6 address and prefix.
Gateway detail: Gateway through which traffic is to be routed.

DHCP

Obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.

Mode

You can configure IPv6 address assignment using stateful or stateless methods.

Auto Configure the IPv6 address using DHCPv6 or Stateless Address Auto-Configuration (SLAAC) according to the Managed (M) Address Configuration and Other (O) Configuration flags advertised in the Router Advertisement (RA) message.
Manual Configure the IPv6 address using DHCPv6 or SLAAC according to the options specified. Using DHCP only, the client will configure the address and other parameters using the DHCPv6 server. Using Stateless, the client will configure the address using SLAAC based on the advertised RA message. You can select Accept other configuration from DHCP to configure other parameters using the DHCPv6 server.

DHCP rapid commit

Configure the interface using a two-message exchange (solicit and reply) rather than a four-message exchange (solicit, advertise, request, and reply). This option provides faster client configuration.

Note Rapid commit should also be enabled on the DHCPv6 server.

Gateway detail

Gateway through which traffic is to be routed.
