Tcp Ip Platform Service Plugin (platform-TcpIpPlatformService)
This plugin provides station access to the host platform’s TCP/IP settings. This service is found under the running station’s PlatformServiceContainer. From the default plugin (view), you can perform the same operation as from the TCP/IP Configuration view using a platform connection.
This platform service supports installations where all configuration is done using only a browser connection and not a platform connection from Workbench to a remote controller’s platform daemon.
To access, expand and double-click TcpIpService.
If the station is running on a Windows platform or if a Win32 host and the platform authentication setting labeled Stations - allow stations to have admin access to platform daemon is disabled, TCP/IP properties in this view are read-only.
To access these properties, click , expand any Interface and select IPv6 Settings.

|---|---|---|
| IPv6 Support | read only | Indicates if host platform’s OS supports IPv6. |
| IPv6 Enabled | check box 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 | alphanumeric | The host’s IP address in IPv6 format, to be unique on its network. |
| IPv6 Network Prefix Length | number | The number of left-most contiguous bits of the IPv6 address (in decimal) that compose the subnet prefix. |
| DNSv6 Servers | Read-only | IPv6 address for one or more DNS servers, each of which can automate associations between hostnames and IPv6 addresses. (Windows hosts only, providing host’s OS has IPv6 enabled). |
