Default Ipv6 Routing Values - Dell Networking 7048 Configuration Manual

host's address. Routers have their network prefixes configured and may use
EUI-64 or manually configured interface IDs. In addition to zero or more
global addresses, each IPv6 interface also has an autoconfigured "link-local"
address which is:
• fe80::/10, with the EUI-64 address in the least significant bits.
• Reachable only on the local VLAN — link-local addresses are never routed.
• Not globally unique
Next hop addresses computed by routing protocols are usually link-local
addresses.
During the period of transitioning the Internet to IPv6, a global IPv6 Internet
backbone may not be available. One transition mechanism is to tunnel IPv6
packets inside IPv4 to reach remote IPv6 islands. When a packet is sent over
such a link, it is encapsulated in IPv4 in order to traverse an IPv4 network and
has the IPv4 headers removed at the other end of the tunnel.

Default IPv6 Routing Values

IPv6 is disabled by default on the switch and on all interfaces.
Table 37-1 shows the default values for the IP routing features this chapter
describes.
