IPv6 Interfaces

Each IPv6 interface supports multiple IPv6 addresses. You can manually configure up to two IPv6 addresses for each interface, or you can allow the switch to use stateless autoconfiguration.

You can manually configure two IPv6 addresses for each interface, as follows:

￿Initial IPv6 address is a global unicast or anycast address.

RS G8124(config)# interface ip <interface number>

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# ipv6 address <IPv6 address>

Note that you cannot configure both addresses as anycast. If you configure an anycast address on the interface you must also configure a global unicast address on that interface.

￿Second IPv6 address can be a unicast or anycast address.

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# ipv6 secaddr6 <IPv6 address>

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# exit

You cannot configure an IPv4 address on an IPv6 management interface. Each interface can be configured with only one address type: either IPv4 or IPv6, but not both. When changing between IPv4 and IPv6 address formats, the prior address settings for the interface are discarded.

Each IPv6 interface can belong to only one VLAN. Each VLAN can support only one IPv6 interface. Each VLAN can support multiple IPv4 interfaces.

Use the following commands to configure the IPv6 gateway:

RS G8124(config)# ip gateway6 1 address <IPv6 address>

RS G8124(config)# ip gateway6 1 enable

IPv6 gateway 1 is reserved for IPv6 data interfaces. IPv6 gateway 4 is the default IPv6 management gateway.
