Modifying IPv6 Network Settings (IPv6 Enabled)

After the initial configuration, you can modify network settings for IPv6 addresses using the Web client. This screen only displays when library support for IPv6 addresses is enabled. For more information, refer to About Network Settings.

Unlike IPv4 network addresses, library can support both DHCP-obtained and static IPv6 addresses at the same time.

NOTE: IPv6 addresses must be entered in the proper notation. IPv6 address can be entered in the most common notation, as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits. 2001:0ff8:55cc:033b:1319:8a2e:01de:1374 is an example of a valid IPv6 address. Also, if one or more of the four-digit groups contains 0000, you can substitute two colons for the four zeros. Using this notation, 2001:0ff8:0000:0000:0000:0000:01de:1374 is the same as 2001:0ff8::01de:1374.

NOTE: Changing the network settings may interrupt the library connection and library communication. Your current browser session may become invalid. If this happens, you must close your browser and then restart it to reconnect to the library with your new configuration settings.

NOTE: This operation should not be performed concurrently by multiple administrators logged in from different locations. You can access the appropriate screens, but you cannot apply changes while another administrator is performing the same operation.

You need administrator privileges to modify network settings.
