IPv6 Management Features
IP Preserve for IPv6
Note that if a switch received its IPv6 address from a DHCP server, the “ip
address” field under “vlan 1” would display: dhcp-bootp.
Figure 5-11. Configuration File with Dedicated IP Addressing After Startup with IP Preserve
For more information on how to use the IP Preserve feature, refer to the
“Configuring IP Addressing” chapter in the current Management and Config-
uration Guide for your ProCurve switch.

Because the switch’s IPv6 address and
default gateway were statically configured
(not assigned by a DHCP server), when the
switch boots up with the IP Preserve startup
configuration file (see Figure 5-10), its current
IPv6 address, subnet mask, and default
gateway are not changed.
If a switch’s current IP address was acquired
from a DHCP/Bootp server, the IP Preserve
statement is ignored and the IP addresses in
the downloaded configuration file are
implemented.
