Specify the type of IPv6 address.
- SNMP ID:
- 2.70.4.1.3
- Console path:
- Setup > IPv6 > Network > Addresses
- Possible values:
- Unicast
- With the Unicast address type, you use the field 2.70.4.1.2 IPv6-Address-Prefixlength to specify a full IPv6 address along with its interface identifier, e.g. "2001:db8::1234/64".
- Anycast
- With the Anycast address type, you can also use the field 2.70.4.1.2 IPv6-Address-Prefixlength to specify a full IPv6 address along with its interface identifier, e.g. "2001:db8::1234/64". Internally, the device handles this address as an anycast address.
- EUI-64
-
The IPv6 address is formed according to the IEEE standard "EUI-64". The MAC address of the interface thus forms a uniquely identifiable part of the IPv6 address. The correct input format for an IPv6 address including the prefix length as per EUI-64 would be: "2001:db8:1::/64".
Important: EUI-64 ignores any value set as "interface identifier" in the corresponding IPv6 address and replaces it with an "interface identifier" as per EUI-64.Important: The prefix length for EUI-64 must be "/64".
- Delegated-Auto-Configuration
- The IPv6 address is formed from the router advertisement prefix received on the selected interface (field 2.70.4.1.1 Interface name) and the host identifier from the field 2.70.4.1.2 IPv6-Address-Prefixlength. The field 2.70.4.1.2 IPv6-Address-Prefixlength can be filled out e.g. with the value" ::2/64" in combination with the prefix "2001:db8::/64" on the interface to form the address "2001:db8::2/64".
- Delegated-DHCPv6
- The IPv6 address is formed from the delegated DHCPv6 prefix received on the selected interface (field 2.70.4.1.1 Interface name) and the host identifier from the field 2.70.4.1.2 IPv6-Address-Prefixlength. The field 2.70.4.1.2 IPv6-Address-Prefixlength can be filled out e.g. with the value "::2/64" in combination with the prefix "2001:db8::/56" on the interface to form the address "2001:db8::2/64". Similarly, an address can be formed from any subnet of the delegated prefix, e.g "0:0:0:0001::1" and the prefix "2001:db8::/56" go to form the address "2001:db8:0:0001::1/64".
- Default:
- Unicast
