addresses can be assigned to an interface by using this command. There is no
need to assign a link-local address by using this command since one is
automatically created. IPv6 addresses can be expressed in eight blocks. Also
of note is that instead of a period, a colon 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 becomes 3ffe:ffff:100:f101::1
Local host: 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001 becomes ::1
Any host: 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 becomes ::
The hexadecimal letters in the IPv6 addresses are not case-sensitive. An
example of an IPv6 prefix and prefix length is 3ffe:1::1234/64.
Syntax
prefix/prefix-length
ipv6 address
no ipv6 address [
prefix — Consists of the bits of the address to be configured.
•
prefix-length — Designates how many of the high-order contiguous bits of
•
the address make up the prefix.
• eui64 — The optional eui-64 field designates that IPv6 processing on the
interfaces is enabled using an EUI-64 interface ID in the low order 64 bits
of the address. If this option is used, the value of
bits.
