Setting IPv6 Addresses
In an IPv6 environment, you can set the following IPv6 addresses and use them at the same time.
Link-Local Address
An address that can only be used within the same link. It cannot be used to communicate with devices beyond a router.
A link-local address is automatically set when usage of IPv6 addresses is enabled.

Stateless Address
An address that is generated automatically using the network prefix provided by the router and the MAC address of the machine.
You can register up to 4 addresses. This address is discarded when the machine is restarted or turned ON.

This section describes how to configure the settings using the control panel.
You can also set the IP address using Remote UI from a computer after it has been set on the machine. Managing the Machine from a Computer (Remote UI)
Administrator or NetworkAdmin privileges are required. The machine must be restarted to apply the settings.
