2 Initial Configuration

To configure an IPv6 link local address for the switch, complete the following steps:

1.From the Global Configuration mode prompt, type “interface vlan 1” to access the interface-configuration mode. Press <Enter>.

2.Type “ipv6 address” followed by up to 8 colon-separated 16-bit hexadecimal values for the ipv6-addresssimilar to that shown in the example, followed by the “link-local” command parameter. Then press <Enter>.

Console(config)#interface vlan 1	45-1
Console(config-if)#ipv6 address FE80::260:3EFF:FE11:6700
link-local	60-4
Console(config-if)#end
Console#show ipv6 interface	60-10

Vlan 1 is up

IPv6 is enable.

Link-local address:

FE80::260:3EFF:FE11:6700/64

Global unicast address(es):

Joined group address(es):

FF01::1/16

FF02::1/16

FF02::1:FF11:6700/104

MTU is 1500 bytes.

ND DAD is enabled, number of DAD attempts: 1.

ND retransmit interval is 1000 milliseconds

Address for Multi-segment Network — Before you can assign an IPv6 address to the switch that will be used to connect to a multi-segment network, you must obtain the following information from your network administrator:

•Prefix for this network

•IP address for the switch

•Default gateway for the network

For most networks that encompass several different subnets, it’s easier to first define a network prefix, and then configure the host address for the switch. An IPv6 network prefix is composed of an IPv6-address and prefix length. The prefix length is the number of bits (from the left) of the prefix that form the network address, and is expressed as a decimal number. For example, all IPv6 address that start with the first byte of 73 (hexadecimal) could be expressed as 73:0:0:0:0:0:0:0/8 or 73::/8.
