A configuration method of a cryptographically generated address (CGA) is disclosed. The configuration method is used to enable a generated CGA to satisfy requirements of a network configuration, and includes the following steps. A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server receives a client configuration information sent from a client. The DHCP server generates a CGA according to the client configuration and the network configuration from the DHCP server. The DHCP server delivers the CGA to the client. The network configuration is made as a reference when the CGA is generated, which overcomes a disadvantage that the CGA generated by the client cannot satisfy the requirements of the network configuration in the prior art. Thus, the generation of CGA can be intervened at a network management level, and a management capability of the network is improved.
