Ipv6Settings

  • Article

Ipv6Settings contains settings for the IPv6 protocol.

Note

The settings in Interface must be added in the following order: Ipv6Settings, Identifier, UnicastIpAddresses, and then Routes, as shown in the XML example below.

Child Elements

Setting Description
DhcpEnabled Specifies whether the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is enabled for the IPv6 protocol.
Metric Specifies the metric used to distinguish between multiple matching routes of the same prefix length.
RouterDiscoveryEnabled Specifies whether the router discovery protocol—which informs hosts of the existence of routers—is enabled for the IPv6 protocol.
