Setting and Checking the IP Address

Setting the IP address to the machine allows it to communicate with computers on the network.

Setting IPv4 Address

The procedures below are for specifying the IPv4 Address settings. After configuring the IPv4 Address settings, check that the network connections are properly set. Perform the procedure in "Checking Network Connection (IPv4)."
If you want to use IPv6 communications, follow the procedure in "Setting IPv6 Address" to specify the required settings, and the procedure in "Checking Network Connection (IPv6)" to check the settings.

Setting IPv6 Address

The following explains the procedure for specifying IPv6 address settings. After specifying the IPv6 address settings, perform the procedure in "Checking Network Connection (IPv6)," check that the network settings are correct.
The machine can use up to nine of the IPv6 addresses below. With IPv6 communication, multiple IPv6 addresses can be used at the same time.

  • Link local address (1)

An address that is only valid within the same link. A link local address is automatically set using a specific prefix (fe80::) and an interface identifier generated from the MAC address of the machine. When the machine is using the functions of IPv6, one link local address is always registered.

  • Manual address (0 or 1)

A fixed address.

  • Stateless address (0 to 6)

A stateless address is automatically set using the machine's MAC address and the prefix (information indicating the network it belongs to) included in the RA (Router Advertisement) notified by the router when the machine is started.

  • Stateful address (0 or 1)

A stateful address can be obtained from a DHCP server using DHCPv6.

Remark
  • You cannot use the functions of IPv6 without using the functions of IPv4.
