Rack Power Filter: Administration: Network Features62
• Domain Name (option 15): The domain name that the Rack Power Filter will use (64-character
maximum length).
• Boot File Name (from the file field of the DHCP response, described in RFC2131): The fully
qualified directory-path to a user configuration file (.ini file) to download. The siaddr field of the
DHCP response specifies the IP address of the server from which the Rack Power Filter will
download the .ini file. After the download, the Rack Power Filter uses the .ini file as a boot file to
reconfigure its settings.

Setting Description
Enable Enable or disable IPv6 with this check box.
Manual Configure IPv6 manually by entering the IP address and the default gateway.
Auto
Configuration
When the Auto Configuration check box is selected, the system obtains addressing prefixes
from the router (if available). It uses those prefixes to automatically configure IPv6 addresses.
DHCPv6
Mode
Router Controlled: Selecting this option means that DHCPv6 is controlled by the
Managed(M) and Other(O) flags received in IPv6 router advertisements. When a router
advertisement is received, the NMC checks whether the M or the O flag is set. The NMC
interprets the state of the M (Managed Address Configuration Flag) and O (Other Stateful
Configuration Flag) "bits" for the following cases:
• Neither is set: Indicates the local network has no DHCPv6 infrastructure. The NMC uses
router advertisements and manual configuration to get addresses that are not link-local and
other settings.
• M, or M and O are set: In this situation, full DHCPv6 address configuration occurs.
DHCPv6 is used to obtain addresses AND other configuration settings. This is known as
DHCPv6 stateful. Once the M flag has been received, the DHCPv6 address
configuration stays in effect until the interface in question has been closed. This is true even
if subsequent router advertisement packets are received in which the M flag is not set.
If an O flag is received first, then an M flag is received subsequently, the NMC performs full
address configuration upon receipt of the M flag
• Only O is set: In this situation, the NMC sends a DHCPv6 Info-Request packet. DHCPv6
will be used to configure “other” settings (such as location of DNS servers), but NOT to
provide addresses. This is known as DHCPv6 stateless.
Address and Other Information: With this radio box selected, DHCPv6 is used to obtain
addresses AND other configuration settings. This is known as DHCPv6 stateful.
Non-Address Information Only: With this radio box selected, DHCPv6 will be used to
configure "other" settings (such as location of DNS servers), but NOT to provide addresses.
This is known as DHCPv6 stateless.
Never: Select this to disable DHCPv6.
