3.11.3 Maximum number of IP addresses

<Structure of this section>

(1) IPv4 address

The table below describes the maximum number of IPv4 addresses that can be set per switch by the configuration. This value is the number of IPv4 addresses that can be configured for a communication interface.

Number of IPv4 addresses (per switch)

#: In IPv6 unicast priority mode, the maximum is 128 addresses.

(2) IPv6 address

The table below describes the maximum number of IPv6 addresses that can be set per switch by the configuration. This value is the number of IPv6 addresses that can be configured for a communication interface. This value also includes the number of IPv6 link-local addresses. An interface must always be assigned one IPv6 link-local address. For this reason, if IPv6 global addresses are set for all interfaces, IPv6 link-local addresses are automatically assigned to the interfaces, and the number of IPv6 addresses that are actually set for the switches is as shown in Table 3-60: Relationship between the number of IPv6 addresses that can be set for the switches in the configuration and the number of IPv6 addresses that are set for the switches.

In the format (A x B), A is the number of interfaces, and B is the number of addresses assigned to each interface.
