a DHCPv6 server.
● RTR_UN
: Try to obtain stateful configuration from a DHCPv6 server (when a router is not
available).
● ALWAYS
: Always try to obtain stateful configuration from a DHCPv6 server (whether or not
a router is available).
MANUAL= KEEP/DISABLE : Set the behavior of a manually configured IPv6 address detected on
the print server.
