Usage Guidelines You can use the ipv6 address command to enable IPv6 processing and configure the IPv6 address on the
interface. An IPv6 address must be configured on an interface for the interface to forward IPv6 traffic.
Assigning a unicast address generates a link local address and implicitly enables IPv6.
The ipv6-address-prefix argument in the ipv6 address command must be in the form documented in RFC
Note
2373, where the address is specified in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons. A slash mark
(/) precedes a decimal value that indicates how many of the high-order contiguous bits of the address
comprise the prefix (the network portion of the address).
Examples The following example assigns a unicast IPv6 address to the interface and enables IPv6 processing on
the interface.
