Automatic Address Assignment

Addresses can be assigned automatically when a router is found that offers one or more prefixes. 
Automatically assigned addresses are routeable. Each router-supplied prefix is combined with the 
Interface ID to create an address. The use of router-supplied prefixes is enabled by default.

To enable/disable automatic address assignment, use one of the following options:

•

The printer’s control panel

•

CentreWare IS

To set the Interface ID on the control panel:

1. Select 

Printer Setup > Connection Setup > Network Setup > TCP/IPv6 Setup, then press the OK 

button.

2. Select 

Auto Assign, then press the OK button to turn Auto Assign On or Off.

To set the Interface ID with CentreWare IS:

1. Launch your Web browser.

2. Enter your printer’s IP address in the browser’s 

Address field.

3. Click 

Properties.

4. Select the 

Protocols folder on the left navigation panel, then click TCP/IP.

5. Click the 

TCP/IP (v6) button.

6. Select/deselect 

Use router supplied prefixes.

7. Click the 

Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.

DHCPv6

DHCPv6 is used to acquire TCP/IP information.

The following DHCPv6 options are available in CentreWare IS:

•

As directed by the router - DHCPv6 is performed according to values in a router advertisement. 
This is the default setting.

•

Always, for all configuration options (stateful) - Stateful DHCPv6 is always attempted, and router 
flags related to how to perform DHCP are ignored. Configuration options and an IPv6 address will 
be accepted if DHCPv6 is successful.

•

Always, for all configuration options except address (stateless) - Stateless DHCPv6 is always 
attempted, and router flags related to how to perform DHCP will be ignored. Configuration options 
will be accepted if DHCPv6 is successful, but no IPv6 address will be assigned.

•

Never - DHCPv6 is not used even if directed to do so by a router.
