IP version change on RPCS 1800

Hi experts,

 

We deployed IPv6 recently on our intranet. When I attempted to input ipv6 address on my rpcs1800 I found the IP version dropdown box is grey so the value could not be changed to "IPv4 & IPv6".

Any ideas for solving this problem? 

 

regards,

Rick

FINAL solution.

Downgrade RMX 1800 to 8.5 or below. In SW version 8.5 the "IP Version" dropdown box is active and available to change. Set IPv6 address mode to "stateless" to finish the setup process and change it to "manual" later if you use fixed address instead. There are bugs in the software so errors may occur during the configuration process if you choose "manual" in initial setup. While finished setting upgrade the S/W to the version you desired. Remember NEVER perform Comprehensive Factory Restore in version 8.6 or above because it will change the "IP Version" back to "IPv4 only".

Re: IP version change on RPCS 1800

Thanks Steffen although I failed to find any posts titled "Read 1st" or such.

I tried to find related instructions in the AG, various versions. According to the document the "IP Version" dropdown box is active and the value could be changed to adopt the site situation, v4 or v6.

But on the web UI of my 3 set of RPCS1800s they are all grey. These 1800s have all different S/W versions: 8.7.5, 8.8.1 and 8.9.2. I tried RMX Manager, which doesn't work also.....But how I can activate the dropdown?
