## 11.3.5 Assigning addresses to the HMC and SE 

An HMC can have the following IP configurations: 

GLYPH<SM590000> Statically assigned IPv4 or statically assigned IPv6 addresses 

GLYPH<SM590000> Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)-assigned IPv4 or DHCP-assigned IPv6 addressees 

GLYPH<SM590000> Auto-configured IPv6: 

– Link-local is assigned to every network interface. 

– Router-advertised, which is broadcast from  the router, can be combined with a Media Access Control (MAC) address to create a unique address. 

– Privacy extensions can be enabled for these addresses as a way to avoid the use of the MAC address as part of the address to ensure uniqueness. 

An SE can have the following IP addresses: 

GLYPH<SM590000> Statically assigned IPv4 or statically assigned IPv6 

GLYPH<SM590000> Auto-configured IPv6 as link-local or router-advertised 

IP addresses on the SE cannot be dynamically assigned through DHCP to ensure repeatable address assignments. Privacy extensions are not used.
