1.2.1 Configuring an IPv6 Unicast Address

An IPv6 address is required for a host to access an IPv6 network. A host can be
assigned a global unicast address, a site-local address, or a link-local address.
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.
Follow these steps to configure an IPv6 unicast address:
