Automatic Neighbor Discovery??”This makes it possible for different machines to
exchange messages to implement autoconfiguration. Using this feature, computers can
find information on routing and other nearby hosts (neighbors).
Dynamic IP configuration (DHCPv6)??”For IPv6 support, if your IP address is
assigned automatically from a DHCPv6 server, a check mark should appear here.
Remove the check mark to set your own IPv6 address.
IPv4 and IPv6 Manual Configuration??”If you are not using DHCP to get IP addresses
for your Fedora system, you can enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address here. In most cases, an
IPv4 address is all that you need. If you set your own IP address, this is the four-part,
dot-separated number that represents your computer to the network. An example of a
private IP address is 192.168.0.1. (See Chapter 5 for a more complete description of
how IP addresses are formed and how you choose them.)
In the second part of each IP address, you enter the netmask. The netmask is used to
determine which part of an IP address represents the network and which part represents
a particular host computer. An example of a netmask for a Class C network is
255.255.255.0.
