Chapter 60: IPv6 Interface Commands

An IPv6 address can either be manually configured or dynamically generated. You

may also need to a establish an IPv6 default gateway between this device and

management stations that exist on another network segment. Both IP Version 4 and

Version 6 addresses can be defined and used simultaneously to access the switch.

Table60-1 IPv6 Configurat ion Commands

Command Function Mode Page
Interface Address Configuration and Utilities
