Configuring An Ipv6 Anycast Address - HP 6125XLG Layer 3-Ip Services Configuration Manual

An interface can have only one link-local address. To avoid link-local address conflicts, HP recommends
that you use the automatic generation method. If both methods are used, manual assignment takes
precedence over automatic generation. If you first use automatic generation and then manual
assignment, the manually assigned link-local address overwrites the automatically generated one. If you
first use manual assignment and then automatic generation, the automatically generated link-local
address does not take effect and the link-local address is still the manually assigned one. If you delete the
manually assigned address, the automatically generated link-local address becomes effective.
Configuring automatic generation of an IPv6 link-local address for an interface
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Configure the interface to
automatically generate an
IPv6 link-local address.
Manually specifying an IPv6 link-local address for an interface
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Manually specify an IPv6
link-local address for the
interface.
After you configure an IPv6 global unicast address for an interface, the interface automatically generates
a link-local address. The automatically generated link-local address is the same as the one generated by
using the ipv6 address auto link-local command. If a link-local address is manually assigned to an
interface, this manual link-local address takes effect. If the manually assigned link-local address is
removed, the automatically generated link-local address takes effect.
Using the undo ipv6 address auto link-local command on an interface only removes the link-local
address generated by the ipv6 address auto link-local command. If the interface has an IPv6 global
unicast address, it still has a link-local address. If the interface has no IPv6 global unicast address, it has
no link-local address.
