IPv6

At present, the CN8000A supports two IPv6 address protocols: Link Local

IPv6 Address, and IPv6 Stateless Autoconfiguration

Link Local IPv6 Address

At power on, the CN8000A is automatically configured with a Link Local IPv6

Address (for example, fe80::210:74ff:fe61:1ef). To find out what the Link

Local IPv6 Address is, log in with the CN8000A’s IPv4 address and click the

Basic Settings icon. The address is displayed at the bottom of the Basic Settings

page (see page 32).

Once you have determined what the IPv6 address is, you can use it when

logging in from a browser or the Win and Java Client AP programs.

For example:

If you are logging in from a browser, you would key in

http://[fe80::2001:74ff:fe6e:59%5]

for the URL bar.

If you are logging in with the AP program, you would key:

fe80::2001:74ff:fe6e:59%5

for the IP field of the Server panel (see The Windows Client Connection

Screen, page 135).

Note: 1. To log in with the Link Local IPv6 Address, the client computer must

be on the same local network segment as the CN8000A

2. The %5 is the %interface used by the client computer. To see your

client computer’s IPv6 address: from the command line issue the

following command: ipconfig /all. The % value appears at the

end of the IPv6 address.
