Internet Control Message Protocol Version 6 (ICMPv6). ICMPv6 performs error reporting for IP along with
other diagnostic functions. When first connected to a network, a host sends a link-local multicast router
solicitation request for configuration parameters. If suitably configured, routers respond to this request
with a router advertisement packet containing network-layer configuration parameters.
1. In CentreWare Internet Services, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols.
2. Click IP > IPv6.
3. Under Protocol, select Enabled to enable the protocol.
4. Under Stateless Addresses, enable Use Router Supplied Prefixes to allow the router to assign
address prefixes.
5. Under Default Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Settings, select how DHCP operates for
IPv6. Options are:
Use DHCP as directed by a router
Always enable DHCP for address assignment and other configuration data
Always enable DHCP for other configuration data only
Never use DHCP

Network Configuration
Note: If no host name, or a different host name appears under Verified Host Name, the host name
did not successfully register to the DNS server. Ensure that your network supports direct client DNS
name registration, or configure your DHCP server to perform updates on behalf of the DHCP clients.
Configure your DNS server to allow dynamic updates.
Note: If no domain name, or a different domain name appears, the domain name did not
successfully register to the DNS server. Ensure that your network supports direct client DNS name
registration, or configure your DHCP server to perform updates on behalf of the DHCP clients.
Configure your DNS server to allow dynamic updates.
6. Select Release DHCPv6 Address at Power Down to release the current DCHP-assigned address and
any DNS name when the printer is turned off.
7. Select Enable Manual Address to specify an address manually. Select a Router Prefix from the
menu, or type a new router prefix and click Add.
8. Select Prefer IPv6 Address over IPv4 to use an IPv6 address before using an IPv4 address.
9. Click Apply to save the new settings or Undo to retain the previous settings.
10. Click Default All to reset settings to default values.
DNS
Domain Name System (DNS) and Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) are systems that map host
names to IP addresses.
1. In CentreWare Internet Services, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols.
2. Click IP (Internet Protocol) > DNS.
3. Under Host Name, type a unique name for your printer. If the host name successfully registers to the
DNS server, the host name appears under Verified Host Name. The default host name is XRX_xxx,
where xxx is the MAC address of the printer.
4. Under Domain Name, type the name of the domain to which the printer is connected.
If the domain name successfully registers to the DNS server, the domain name appears under
Verified Domain Name.
5. Select Enabled under Dynamic DNS Registration of IPv4 Address, or Dynamic DNS Registration of
IPv6 Address, if desired. This option allows your DDNS server to register the host name of the printer
automatically. If you change the host name in CentreWare Internet Services, the registered host
name is updated on your DDNS server. Clear the Enabled check box if your network does not support
dynamic name addressing. Manage host names in the DNS server manually.
6. Under Remove this Device's IPv4 DNS Registration, select Enabled if necessary. This option allows
the printer to send a release request to the DHCP and DNS servers. If the servers grant the request,
the current IP address and any dynamic DNS name are released when the printer is turned off.
7. Under Remove this Device's IPv6 DNS Registration at power down, select Enabled if necessary. This
option allows the printer to release the current DCHP-assigned address and any DNS name when the
printer is turned off.

8. To allow users to see and connect to the printer using Bonjour, under Multicast DNS Registration,
select Enabled.
9. If you have a DHCP server, and the printer recognizes your DNS server, the address appears under
DNS Server Addresses. If you want to use other DNS servers, type the IPv4 or IPv6 server address
under Additional DNS Server Addresses.
10. Under DNS Connection Timeout, type the time in seconds that the printer waits if it fails to
connect to a DNS server. After the timeout period, the printer attempts to connect to any
additional DNS servers.
11. If you have a DHCP server, recognized search domain names appear in a list under Domain Name
Search List.The list of domain names allows the DNS server to recognize unqualified host names. If
you want the printer to search for other domain names, type the domain names under Additional
Search Domains.
12. Under Append Device Domain, select Enabled to add the domain of the printer to the Domain
Name Search List.
13. Under Append Parent Domains, select Enabled to add the parent domains of the printer to the
Domain Name Search List.
14. Click Apply.

Note: The maximum MTU for IP over Ethernet is 1500 bytes.
SLP
Printers use Service Location Protocol (SLP) to announce and look up services on a local network without
prior configuration. When SLP is enabled, the printer becomes a Service Agent (SA) and announces its
services to User Agents (UA) on the network using SLP.
Directory Agents (DA) are components that cache services. They are used in larger networks to reduce the
amount of traffic. DAs are optional. If a DA is present, then User Agents (UAs) and System Agents (SAs)
are required to use it instead of communicating directly with the printer.
Configuring SLP
1. In CentreWare Internet Services, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols.
2. Click SLP.
3. Under Protocol, select Enabled.
4. Under Directory Agent, type the IP address for the Directory Agent (DA), if one is used. This entry
is optional.
5. If you use scopes to group services, type in the Scope 1, 2, and 3 names. Printers cannot see services
that are in different scopes. Under Message Type, select Multicast to route multicast packets
between subnets, or select Broadcast not to route packets between subnets.
6. Select the Multicast Radius value between 0–255. This value defines how many routers the multicast
packet can cross. The default value is 255.
7. Select a value for Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size between 484–32768 bytes. The default
value is 1400 bytes.
8. Click Apply to save the new settings or Undo to retain the previous settings.
9. Click Default All to reset settings to default values.

5. Under Authentication Failure Generic Traps, select Enable to prompt the printer to generate a trap
for every SNMP request processed with an invalid community name.
6. Click Apply to save the new settings or Undo to retain the previous settings.
Configuring SNMPv1/v2c
SNMP version 1 (SNMPv1) is the initial implementation of the SNMP protocol. SNMPv1 operates over
protocols such as User Datagram Protocol (UDP), IP, and Novell Internet Packet Exchange (IPX).
SNMPv2c includes improvements in performance, confidentiality, and manager-to-manager
communications over SNMPv1, however it uses the simple-community based security scheme of SNMPv1.
1. In CentreWare Internet Services, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols.
2. Click SNMP.
3. Under SNMP Properties, click Edit SNMPv1/v2c Properties.
4. Type a name up to 256 characters for the GET Community Name or use the default value of public.
GET returns the password for the SNMP GET requests to the printer. Applications obtaining
information from the printer using SNMP, such as CentreWare Internet Services, use this password.
