Usage notes
Enable IPv6 unicast forwarding globally for all interfaces on your device with this
command. Use the no variant of this command to disable IPv6 unicast forwarding
globally for all interfaces on your device.
IPv6 unicast forwarding allows devices to communicate with devices that are more
than one hop away, providing that there is a route to the destination address. If
IPv6 forwarding is not enabled then pings to addresses on devices that are more
than one hop away will fail, even if there is a route to the destination address.
Examples
To enable IPv6 unicast routing, use the commands:
awplus#
awplus(config)#
To disable IPv6 unicast routing, use the commands:
awplus#
awplus(config)#
