IPv6 Settings
Figure 77. IPv6 tab for Interface of JACE-8000 controller, in platform TCP/IP Configuration view
The following properties are on the IPv6 Settings tab of the selected Interface:
- IPv6 Support
Yes or No, as read-only. Indicates if host platform’s OS supports IPv6.
- IPv6 Enabled
Checkbox for Enabled, where default is cleared (disabled). If a Windows host, this indicates if it is configured with the IPv6 protocol.
- Obtain IPv6 Settings Automatically
Checkbox for Enabled (default). Provides for “auto-configuration” of the IPv6 address, if acceptable. If enabled on the JACE-8000 controller, the next two properties are read-only. If cleared, the two properties below must be entered manually.
- IPv6 Address
The host’s IP address in IPv6 format, to be unique on its network.
- IPv6 Network Prefix Length
The number of left-most contiguous bits of the IPv6 address (in decimal) that compose the subnet prefix.
- DNSv6 Servers
(Windows hosts only, providing host’s OS has IPv6 enabled) Read-only IPv6 address for one or more DNS servers, each of which can automate associations between hostnames and IPv6 addresses.
