To obtain remote management access using IPv6 addressing parameters, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config terminal
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# interface mgmt 0
switch(config-if)#
Step 3
switch(config-if)# ipv6 address
2001:0DB8:800:200C::417A/64
switch(config-if)# ipv6 address autoconfig
Step 4
switch(config-if)# switchport speed 100
Step 5
switch(config-if)# no shutdown
Step 6
switch(config-if)# exit
switch(config)#

Using the force Option During Shutdown

When you try to shut down a management interface (mgmt0), a follow-up message confirms your action
before performing the operation. You can use the force option to bypass this confirmation. The following
example shuts down the interface without using the force option:
switch# config t
switch(config)# interface mgmt 0
switch(config-if)# shutdown
Shutting down this interface will drop all telnet sessions.
Do you wish to continue (y/n)? y
The following example shuts down the interface using the force option:
switch# config t
switch(config)# interface mgmt 0
switch(config-if)# shutdown force
You need to explicitly configure a default gateway to connect to the switch and send IP packets or add a
Note
route for each subnet.
Default Gateway Configuration
The supervisor module sends IP packets with unresolved destination IPv4 addresses to the default
gateway (see
Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide
5-26
Figure 5-4).

Command
Enters configuration mode. You can also abbreviate
the command to config t.
Enters the interface configuration mode on the
specified interface (mgmt0).
You can use the console interface on the switch to
configure the management Ethernet interface.
