Basic Configurations Of Ipv6 - Huawei S9300 Configuration Manual

S9300&S9300E Terabit Routing Switch
Configuration Guide - IP Service
About This Chapter
This chapter describes the basic concept and configurations of IPv6.
Context
9.1 Introduction to IPv6
This section describes the basic principle of IPv6.
9.2 IPv6 Features Supported by the S9300&S9300E
The S9300&S9300E supports the IPv6 protocol suite and TCP6 protocol suite.
9.3 Configuring an IPv6 Address for an Interface
Assigning an IPv6 address to a device on a network enables the device to communicate with the
other devices on the network.
9.4 Configuring IPv6 Neighbor Discovery
IPv6 neighbor discovery (ND) is a packet transmission process to identify the relationship
between neighboring nodes. The Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) replaces the Address
Resolution Protocol (ARP), ICMP Device Discovery messages, and ICMP Redirect messages,
and introduces neighbor reachability detection.
9.5 Configuring TCP6
By setting TCP6 packets, you can improve the performance of the network.
9.6 Maintaining IPv6
This section describes how to maintain IPv6. Detailed operations include deleting information
about IPv6 operation and monitoring IPv6 operation.
9.7 Configuration Examples
This section provides a configuration example of IPv6 addresses.

Basic Configurations of IPv6

NOTE
The IPv6 functions of the S9300&S9300E are restricted through the license.
Generally, the IPv6 commands can be run on a new device, but the corresponding IPv6 functions cannot
take effect. To make the IPv6 functions effective on the S9300&S9300E, contact local office of Huawei
to buy the license.
