Network Switch - Configure IPv6 management VLAN [GS1900 Series]

The user would like to access the switch using an IPv6 address with management VLAN100.

 

Step by step guide

1. Connect your computer directly to one of the LAN ports and log into the web interface with the default IP 192.168.1.1 using the default credentials admin/1234

2. Go to Basic Setting > Interface Setup and create VLAN100

3. Enable the DHCPv6 Client, if you have an DHCPv6 server. But for Management purposes, we suggest to configure static IPv6 address. Disable the Auto Configuration then input the IPv6 address and IPv6 gateway. Click "Apply" to save the configuration.
Configuration > System > IP > IPv6

4. IPv4/6 management VLAN settings is located in the same place. After changing to VLAN100 both IPv4 & IPv6 will be on management VLAN100. Click "Apply" to save the configuration.
Configuration > System > IP

5. After configuring the switch you should always save your new configuration on the switch.
Otherwise the switch will lose the changes after a reboot.
