Select the IPv6 checkbox to activate the fields in the section and enable IPv6 on the device.

Enter a Global/Unique IP Address. This is the IP address assigned to the KX III.

Enter the Prefix Length. This is the number of bits used in the IPv6 address.

Enter the Gateway IP Address.

Link-Local IP Address. This address is automatically assigned to the device. The address is used for neighbor discovery or when no routers are present. Read-Only

Zone ID. Identifies the device the address is associated with. Read-Only

Select an IP Auto Configuration option - None or Router Discovery

• None (Static IP) - This option requires you manually specify the network parameters.

  This is the recommended option. Since the KX III is part of your network infrastructure, you most likely do not want its IP address to change frequently. This option allows you to set the network parameters.

  If you want to ensure redundant failover capabilities should the primary Ethernet port or the switch/router to which it is connected fail, leave the IP Auto Configuration set to None.

  If a failure occurs, KX III fails over to the secondary network port with the same IP address. This ensures there is no interruption.

  If you select None, you manually specify the Global/Unique IP Address, Prefix Length, and Gateway IP Address.

   

• Router Discovery - select this option to locate a Global or Unique IPv6 address instead of a Link-Local subnet.

  Once located, the address is automatically applied.
