I know what my printer is capable of, and I know its configuration does NOT ALLOW to write an IPv6 address, only and IPv4 address. I have tried several times over the years.
Again, why do you need manual configuration.
So that I can write the name to IP in the /etc/hosts file or my DNS zone file.
If I want something, other than firewall/router or main desktop system to have a specific address, I do that with a mapping on my DHCP server. You can do the same with IPv6.
No, my router does no mapping of IPv6 addresses. I just tried.
I have been using IPv6 for over 9 years. I have yet to manually address a device on IPv6. It just isn't needed. This isn't like IPv4 where, if you don't have DHCP, you have to configure address, gateway, subnet mask, etc.. Everything works automatically. As for needing to determine an address, I've already provided a couple of methods.
It doesn't say the names of the found addresses, what they are. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
