Ipv6 Address - Supermicro SSE-G2252 User Manual

ipv6 address

This command configures an IPv6 global unicast address and enables IPv6 on an
interface. Use the no form without any arguments to remove all IPv6 addresses from the
interface, or use the no form with a specific IPv6 address to remove that address from
the interface.
Syntax
[no] ipv6 address ipv6-address/prefix-length
ipv6-address - A full IPv6 address including the network prefix and host address
bits.
prefix-length - A decimal value indicating how many contiguous bits (from the left) of
the address comprise the prefix (i.e., the network portion of the address).
Default Setting
No IPv6 addresses are defined
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (VLAN)
Command Usage
• All IPv6 addresses must be according to RFC 2373 "IPv6 Addressing Architecture,"
using 8 colon-separated 16-bit hexadecimal values. One double colon may be used
in the address to indicate the appropriate number of zeros required to fill the
undefined fields.
• To connect to a larger network with multiple subnets, you must configure a global
unicast address. This address can be manually configured with this command, or it
can be automatically configured using the ip
• If a link-local address has not yet been assigned to this interface, this command will
assign the specified static global unicast address and also dynamically generate a
link-local unicast address for the interface. (The link-local address is made with an
address prefix of FE80 and a host portion based the switch's MAC address in
modified EUI-64 format.)
• If a duplicate address is detected, a warning message is sent to the console.
