To configure an IPv6 link local address for the switch, complete the
following steps:
From the Global Configuration mode prompt, type "interface vlan 1" to
1.
access the interface-configuration mode. Press <Enter>.
Type "ipv6 address" followed by up to 8 colon-separated 16-bit
2.
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)#ipv6 enable
Console(config-if)#end
Console#show ipv6 interface
VLAN 1 is up
IPv6 is enabled
Link-local address:
FE80::260:3EFF:FE11:6700/64
Global unicast address(es):
(None)
Joined group address(es):
FF02::1:FF11:6700
FF02::1
IPv6 link MTU is 1500 bytes
ND DAD is enabled, number of DAD attempts: 3.
ND retransmit interval is 1000 milliseconds
ND advertised retransmit interval is 0 milliseconds
ND reachable time is 30000 milliseconds
ND advertised reachable time is 0 milliseconds
Console#
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
◆ IP address for the switch
Default gateway for the network
◆
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
bits (from the left) of the prefix that form the network address, and is
expressed as a decimal number. For example, all IPv6 addresses that start
with the first byte of 73 (hexadecimal) could be expressed as
73:0:0:0:0:0:0:0/8 or 73::/8.
