Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a network layer protocol intended to expand the
network address space. IPv6 is a robust and expandable protocol that meets the
need for increased physical address space. The switch supports the following RFCs
for IPv6-related features:
• RFC 1981 •
• RFC 2404 •
• RFC 2410 •
• RFC 2451 •
• RFC 2460 •
• RFC 2461 •
• RFC 2462 •
• RFC 2474 •
• RFC 2526 •

This chapter describes the basic configuration of IPv6 addresses and how to
manage the switch via IPv6 host management.
