Link Local Address — All link-local addresses must be configured with a
prefix of FE80. Remember that this address type makes the switch
accessible over IPv6 for all devices attached to the same local subnet only.
Also, if the switch detects that the address you configured conflicts with
that in use by another device on the subnet, it will stop using the address
in question, and automatically generate a link local address that does not
conflict with any other devices on the local subnet.
To configure an IPv6 link local address for the switch, complete the
following steps:
1. From the Global Configuration mode prompt, type "interface vlan 1" to
access the interface-configuration mode. Press <Enter>.
2. Type "ipv6 address" followed by up to 8 colon-separated 16-bit
hexadecimal values for the ipv6-address similar to that shown in the
example, followed by the "link-local" command parameter. Then press
<Enter>.
Console(config)#interface vlan 1
Console(config-if)#ipv6 address FE80::260:3EFF:FE11:6700 link-local
Console(config-if)#end
Console#show ipv6 interface

Address for Multi-segment Network — Before you can assign an IPv6
address to the switch that will be used to connect to a multi-segment
network, you must obtain the following information from your network
administrator:
Prefix for this network
u
IP address for the switch
u
Default gateway for the network
u
For networks that encompass several different subnets, you must define
the full address, including a network prefix and the host address for the
switch. You can specify either the full IPv6 address, or the IPv6 address
and prefix length. The prefix length for an IPv6 network is the number of
