3Com 4210 PWR Configuration Manual page 535

To enable a host to access a public IPv6 network, you need to assign an IPv6
■
global unicast address to it.
IPv6 site-local addresses and global unicast addresses can be configured in either
of the following ways:
EUI-64 format: When the EUI-64 format is adopted to form IPv6 addresses, the
■
IPv6 address prefix of an interface is the configured prefix and the interface
identifier is derived from the link-layer address of the interface.
Manual configuration: IPv6 site-local addresses or global unicast addresses are
■
configured manually.
IPv6 link-local addresses can be acquired in either of the following ways:
Automatic generation: The device automatically generates a link-local address
■
for an interface according to the link-local address prefix (FE80::/64) and the
link-layer address of the interface.
Manual assignment: IPv6 link-local addresses can be assigned manually.

After an IPv6 site-local address or global unicast address is configured for an
■
interface, a link-local address will be generated automatically. The
automatically generated link-local address is the same as the one generated by
using the ipv6 address auto link-local command. If a link-local address is
manually assigned to an interface, this link-local address takes effect. If the

By default, no site-local
address or global unicast
address is configured for
an interface.
Note that the prefix

in an EUI-64 address
cannot exceed 64 bits in
length.
Optional
By default, after an IPv6

global unicast address is
configured for an
interface, a link-local
address will be
generated automatically.
