Description
Enable IPv6
Lets you use IPv6 addressing for your Ethernet interfaces and SMTP configuration.
When you enable this option, you can specify multiple IPv6 addresses to provision on Ethernet Interface 1 and Ethernet interface 2 (if Ethernet interface 2 is enabled).
Note that IPv6 cannot be disabled if an IPv6 address is assigned to an MTA listener.
Ethernet Interface 1
IPv6:1
Specifies the IP address of the Ethernet interface.
Individual IPv6 addresses can be specified in any standard IPv6 format and are stored and displayed in shortened format. Ranges are expressed in CIDR notation as a combination of an address part and a prefix.
Beside the IPv6 address, specify the prefix.
For IPv6 the prefix value is restricted to an integer value of 64 or lower.
Add
Lets you add an IPv6 address.
You can add up to 256 IPv6 addresses per Ethernet interface.
Delete
Lets you delete one or more IPv6 addresses.
Check the box beside one or more virtual interfaces and click
Delete
to delete the interfaces that you selected. Or, check the box beside
Description
and click
Delete
to delete all virtual interfaces for this Ethernet interface.
Ethernet Interface 2
IPv6:2
Specifies the IP address of the Ethernet interface.
Individual IPv6 addresses can be specified in any standard IPv6 format and are stored and displayed in shortened format. Ranges are expressed in CIDR notation, as a combination of an address part and a prefix.
Beside the IPv6 address, specify the address prefix.
For IPv6 the prefix value is restricted to an integer value of 64 or lower.
Add
Lets you add an IPv6 address.
You can add up to 256 IPv6 addresses per Ethernet interface.
Delete
Lets you delete one or more IPv6 addresses.
Check the box beside one or more virtual interfaces and click
Delete
to delete the interfaces that you selected. Or, check the box beside
Description
and click
Delete
to delete all virtual interfaces for this Ethernet interface.
Routing
Default gateway
Address of a router to handle IP traffic between networks (required).
Individual IPv6 addresses can be specified in any standard IPv6 format and are stored and displayed in shortened format.
Static Routes
Destination address
Computer or network destination for a static route.
Static routes direct data from one subnet to different subnet faster than dynamic routes. But static routes must be updated if addresses change.
Individual IPv6 addresses can be specified in any standard IPv6 format and are stored and displayed in shortened format.
Gateway address
Address of a router to use for a static route.
Individual IPv6 addresses can be specified in any standard IPv6 format and are stored and displayed in shortened format.
Interface
The appliance’s Ethernet port to use for a static route.
Add
Adds a static route.
Delete
Lets you delete one or more static routes.
Check the box beside one or more static routes and click
Delete
to delete the routes that you selected. Or, check the box next to
Destination address
and click
Delete
to delete all static routes.
Save
Saves your configuration changes.
Cancel
