Accton Technology 24/48-Port, ES4548D, ES4524D manual Assigning an IPv6 Address, 45-1, 59-1, 59-2

Basic Configuration 2

3.Type “exit” to return to the global configuration mode prompt. Press <Enter>.

4.To set the IP address of the default gateway for the network to which the switch belongs, type “ip default-gateway gateway,” where “gateway” is the IP address of the default gateway. Press <Enter>.

Console(config)#interface vlan 1	45-1
Console(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0	59-1
Console(config-if)#exit
Console(config)#ip default-gateway 192.168.1.254	59-2
Console(config)#

Assigning an IPv6 Address

There are several ways to manually configure IPv6 addresses. This section describes how to configure a “link local” address for connectivity within the local subnet only, and another option that allows you to specify a “global unicast” address by first configuring a network prefix for use on a multi-segment network, and then configuring the host address portion of the address.

An IPv6 prefix or address must be formatted according to RFC 2373 “IPv6 Addressing Architecture,” using 8 colon-separated 16-bit hexadecimal values. One double colon may be used to indicate the appropriate number of zeros required to fill the undefined fields. For detailed information on the other ways to assign IPv6 addresses, see “Setting the Switch’s IP Address (IP Version 6)” on page 5-4.

Link Local Address — All link-local addresses must be configured with a prefix of FE80. Remember that this address type makes the switch accessible over IPv6 for all devices attached to the same local subnet only. Also, if the switch detects that the address you configured conflicts with that in use by another device on the subnet, it will stop using the address in question, and automatically generate a link local address that does not conflict with any other devices on the local subnet.
