Parameter Command
network interface Use the set command to configure one of the network interfaces with IPv6 for the
eth0|eth1 for IPv6 MergePoint SP5300 appliance.
Synopsis: set network interface eth0|eth1 method6 <dhcpv6|static> address6 <ip>
netmask6 <netmask> gateway6 <ip> mtu6 <num>
Example: set network interface eth1 method6 static
set network interface eth1 address6 fe80:2001::2 netmask6 64
network interface Use the set command to configure one of the network interfaces with IPv6 for the
bond0|eth0|eth1| MergePoint SP5324/SP5340 appliance.
priv0|br0 for IPv6 Synopsis: set network interface bond0|eth0|eth1|priv0|br0 method6 <dhcpv6|static>
address6 <ip> netmask6 <netmask> gateway6 <ip> mtu6 <num>
Example: set network interface bro method6 static
set network interface br0 address6 fe80:2001::2 netmask6 64
Note for IPv6 • Method6 has 2 valid value: dhcpv6, static.
dhcpv6 - Interface gets its ipv6 address from dhcp server and other network settings
from ipv6 RA or other valid information.
static - You must set ipv6 address and other network settings manually.
• Netmask6 is a number with value between 1 and 128.
• IPv6 addresses are 16-byte numbers written in hexadecimal in blocks of 2-bytes
separated by a colon.
As an example: fdeb:8024:0000:0023:0000:0000:0a05:a0da.
Leading zeros can be removed, changing our example into
fdeb:8024:0:23:0:0:a05:a0da.
One or more zeroed blocks can be substituted by a single "::", but only one such a
substitution is allowed. This gives us two possibilities for our previous example:
• fdeb:8024::23:0:0:a05:a0da
• fdeb:8024:0:23::a05:a0da
Note that fdeb:8024::23::a05:a0da is not allowed because it is ambiguous.
Netmask6, also know as prefix length in IPv6 context, are usually encoded as the
number of bits in prefix.
• Mtu6 is a number with value between 1 and 1500.
network interface Use the set command to specify a mode.
mode Synopsis: set network interface mode normal|failover|bridge
Example: set network interface mode bridge
NOTE: This parameter is only for the MergePoint SP5324/SP5340 appliance.
network resolv Use the set command to configure DNS domain and one or more DNS servers.
Synopsis: set network resolv dns0|dns1 <DNS_IP> domain <domain_name>
Example: set network resolv dns0 172.26.24.3 dns1 172.20.1.11 domain corp.avo.com
