Ipv6 Address - NETGEAR M6100 Series Reference Manual

When you use this command, the interface is automatically configured with a link-local
address. You do not need to use this command if you configured an IPv6 global address on
the interface.

ipv6 address

Use this command to configure an IPv6 address on an interface or range of interfaces,
including tunnel and loopback interfaces, and to enable IPv6 processing on this interface.
You can assign multiple globally reachable addresses to an interface by using this command.
You do not need to assign a link-local address by using this command since one is
automatically created. The prefix field consists of the bits of the address to be configured.
The prefix_length designates how many of the high-order contiguous bits of the address
make up the prefix.
You can express IPv6 addresses in eight blocks. Also of note is that instead of a period, a
colon now separates each block. For simplification, leading zeros of each 16 bit block can be
omitted. One sequence of 16 bit blocks containing only zeros can be replaced with a double
colon "::", but not more than one at a time (otherwise it is no longer a unique representation).
• Dropping zeros:
3ffe:ffff:100:f101:0:0:0:1
• Local host:
0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001
• Any host:
0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000
The hexadecimal letters in the IPv6 addresses are not case-sensitive. An example of an IPv6
prefix and prefix length is
The optional eui-64 field designates that IPv6 processing on the interfaces was enabled
using an EUI-64 interface ID in the low order 64 bits of the address. If you use this option, the
value of prefix_length must be 64 bits.
