Configuring IP addresses
4. Configure the IPv6 address and mask address for the interface.
Brocade(config)# int e 5
Brocade(config-if-e1000-5)# ipv6 address 2001:200:12D:1300:240:D0FF:FE48:4672:/64
These commands configure the global prefix 2001:200:12d:1300::/64 and the interface ID ::240:D0FF:FE48:4672, and enable IPv6
on interface e 1/5.
NOTE
The above procedure shows how to configure an IPv6 address with a manually configured Interface ID as the address for the
interface. You could also configure an IPv6 address with an automatically computed EUI-64 Interface ID as the address for the
interface. Link-local IPv6 addresses are also supported. For details, refer to the <Italic>FastIron Configuration Guide.
Syntax: enable [<password>]
Syntax: configure terminal
Syntax: [no] ipv6 address <ipv6-prefix>/<prefix-length>
You must specify the <ipv6-prefix> parameter in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.
You must specify the <prefix-length> parameter in decimal value. A slash mark (/) must follow the <ipv6-prefix> parameter and precede
the <prefix-length> parameter.
IPv6 devices running Layer 2 software
To configure an IPv6 address to a device running Layer 2 software, perform the following steps.
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
Brocade > enable
2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt, then press Enter. This command erases the factory test
configuration if still present.
Brocade# erase startup-config
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a system you
have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally do erase the
configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the running configuration
to the startup-config file.
3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command.
Privileged EXEC Level.
Brocade# configure terminal
Global CONFIG Level.
Brocade(config)#
4. Configure the IPv6 address and mask for the switch.
Brocade(config)# ipv6 address 2001:200:12D:1300:240:D0FF:FE48:4000:1/64
