shutdown (Ethernet)
Command Usage
◆
You must assign an IPv6 address to this device to gain management access over
the network or to connect the access point to existing IPv6 subnets. You can
manually configure a specific IPv6 address using the ipv6 address command,
or direct the device to obtain an address from a DHCPv6 server using this
command.
◆
When you use this command, the access point will begin broadcasting DHCPv6
client requests. The current IPv6 address (i.e., default or manually configured
address) will continue to be effective until a DHCPv6 reply is received. Requests
will be broadcast periodically by this device in an effort to learn its IPv6 address.
(DHCPv6 values can include the IPv6 address, subnet mask, and default
gateway.)
Example
AP(config)#interface ethernet
