Ipv6 self-assigned address (Stateless autoconfiguration)

[KP.1132]

I am using STM32f769Ni discovery board. I need to transfer the data from discovery board to another node via ethernet. Here i have to use the discovery board as client.

Another node acting as server. I need to use the Ipv6 self-assigned address(stateless autoconfiguration). I don't know how to configure this in STM32Cue MX. I am using LWIP. Could anybody explain how to do this.

I am totally beginner to this topic. And also is there any example program for sending and receiving the data from server.

Thanks in advance.

Hello KP.1132,

After creating a project using the STM32f769Ni discovery board, and activating LWIP through the component list, in the displayed Configuration tab there is window tab named IPv6. From IPv6 Configuration tab you can enable IPv6 protocol and set all other IPv6 options (All IPv6 options are visible when checking "Show Advanced Parameters" checkbox). LWIP_IPV6_DHCP6_STATELESS parameter enables DHCPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration .

Below is a screenshot to make the process clearer.

BR,
