IPv6 Unicast Routing

Configuring IP Unicast Routing

This section describes the commands associated with configuring IP unicast routing on the switch. To
configure routing:
1 Create and configure two or more VLANs.
2 Assign each VLAN that will be using routing an IP address using the following command:
configure vlan <vlan_name> ipaddress [<ipaddress> {<ipNetmask>} | ipv6-link-local
| {eui64} <ipv6_address_mask>]
Ensure that each VLAN has a unique IP address.
3 Configure a default route using the following command:
configure iproute add default [<ipv6Gateway> | <ipv6ScopedGateway>] {vr <vrname>}
{<metric>} {multicast-only | unicast-only}
Default routes are used when the router has no other dynamic or static route to the requested
destination.
4 Turn on IP routing for one or all VLANs using the following command:
enable ipforwarding ipv6 {vlan <vlan_name> | tunnel <tunnel-name> | vr <vr_name>}
5 Configure the routing protocol, if required. For a simple network using RIPng, the default
configuration may be acceptable.
6 Turn on RIPng or OSPFv3 using one of the following commands:
enable ripng
enable ospfv3 {domain <domainName>}

Verifying the IP Unicast Routing Configuration

Use the
show iproute ipv6
switch and for each VLAN. The
routes and includes how each route was learned.
Additional verification commands include:
●
show neighbor-discovery cache ipv6
●
show ipconfig ipv6

Routing Configuration Example

Figure 63 illustrates a BlackDiamond switch that has three VLANs defined as follows:
Finance
●
Protocol-sensitive VLAN using IPv6 protocol
■
All ports on slots 1 and 3 have been assigned.
■
IP address
■
Personnel
●
Protocol-sensitive VLAN using the IPv6 protocol.
■
All ports on slots 2 and 4 have been assigned.
