Accton Technology ES4548D, ES4524D manual Configuring an IPv6 General Network Prefix, 60-13, 60-14

5 Setting an IP Address

CLI – This example configures an IPv6 gateway, specifies the management interface, configures a global unicast address, and then sets the MTU.

Console#config
Console(config)ipv6 default-gateway 2009:DB9:2229::240			60-12
Console(config)#interface vlan 1			45-1
Console(config-if)#ipv6 address rd 7279::79/64			60-4
Console(config-if)#ipv6 mtu 1280			60-13
Console(config-if)#end
Console#show ipv6 default-gateway			60-12
ipv6 default gateway: 2009:DB9:2229::240
Console#show ipv6 interface			60-10
Vlan 1 is up
IPv6 is enable.
Link-local address:
FE80::200:E8FF:FE90:0/64
Global unicast address(es):
2009:DB9:2229::79, subnet is 2009:DB9:2229:0::/64
Joined group address(es):
FF01::1/16
FF02::1/16
FF02::1:FF00:79/104
FF02::1:FF90:0/104
MTU is 1280 bytes.
ND DAD is enabled, number of DAD attempts: 1.
ND retransmit interval is 1000 milliseconds
Console#show ipv6 mtu			60-14
MTU	Since	Destination Address
1400	00:04:21	5000:1::3

Configuring an IPv6 General Network Prefix

The IPv6 General Prefix page is used to configure general prefixes that are subsequently used on the IPv6 Configuration web page (see page 5-4)to specify the network address portion of an interface address.

Command Usage

•Prefixes may contain zero-value fields or end in zeros.

•A general prefix holds a short prefix that indicates the high-order bits used in the network portion of the address. Longer, more specific, prefixes can be based on the general prefix to specify any number of subnets. When the general prefix is changed, all of the more specific prefixes based on this prefix will also change.

Command Attributes

•General Prefix Name – The label assigned to the general prefix.

•Prefix Value – The high-order bits of the network address segment assigned to the general prefix. The prefix must be formatted according to RFC 2373 “IPv6 Addressing Architecture,” using 8 colon-separated 16-bit hexadecimal values. One double colon may be used in the address to indicate the appropriate number of zeros required to fill the undefined fields.

•Prefix Length – A decimal value indicating how many of the contiguous bits (from the left) of the address comprise the prefix (i.e., the network portion of the address).
