1. In the system web interface, go to Network > LAN Network > IP Addresses.
2. Select the Enable IPV6 checkbox.
3. For IP Address, select Obtain IP address automatically.
4. Select the Enable SLAAC checkbox to enable the system to use stateless address
autoconfiguration (SLAAC) to automatically obtain IP address.

Manually Assign a Host Name and Domain Name
You can manually enter the host name and domain name for your system. You also can modify these
settings even if your network automatically assigns them.
1. In the system web interface, go to Network > LAN Network > LAN Options.
2. Enter or modify the system Host Name.
Indicates your system name. If the system discovers a valid name during setup or a software
update, the system automatically creates the host name. However, if an invalid name is found,
such as a name with a space, the system creates a host name using the following format: Syste
mType-xxxxxx, where xxxxxx is a set of random alphanumeric characters.
IPv4 networks: The system sends the host name to the DHCP server to attempt to register
the name with the local DNS server or look up the domain where the system is registered (if
supported).
