Manage IPv6 Prefixes for Advertisement on an IPv6 VLAN
When you add an IPv6 prefix for advertisement on an IPv6 VLAN, the prefix is advertised on
all interfaces that are members of the VLAN. You can change and remove existing IPv6
prefixes.
Add an IPv6 Prefix for Advertisement on an IPv6 VLAN
To add an IPv6 prefix for advertisement on an IPv6 VLAN:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch on page 13.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’s password in the password field.
The default password is password. If you added the switch to a network on the Insight
app before and you did not yet change the password through the local browser interface,
enter your Insight network password.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select Routing> IPv6 > Advanced > Prefix Configuration.
The IPv6 Interface Selection page displays. The page also shows the IPv6 Interface
Configuration table.
6. From the Interface menu, select the interface to be configured.
When the selection is changed, the page refreshes, causing all fields to be updated for
the newly selected interface.
7. In the Ipv6 Prefix field, specify the IPv6 prefix for an interface.
8. In the Prefix Length field, specify the IPv6 prefix length for an interface.
9. From the EUI64 menu, select Enable or Disable to indicate whether the specified 64-bit
unicast prefix is enabled.
10. In the Valid Life Time field, specify the router advertisement per prefix time.
This is the time allowed to consider the prefix valid for the purpose of on-link
determination. The valid life time is 0 to 4294967295.
11. In the Preferred Life Time field, specify the router advertisement per prefix time.
An autoconfigured address generated from this prefix is preferred. The preferred life time
must be in the range 0 to 4294967295.
