IPv6 Configuration Examples

This section provides steps to configure IPv6 on the switch.

IPv6 Example 1

The following example uses IPv6 host mode to autoconfigure an IPv6 address for the interface. By default, the interface is assigned to VLAN 1.

1.Enable IPv6 host mode on an interface.

RS G8124(config)# interface ip 2

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# ip6host

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# enable

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# exit

2.Configure the IPv6 default gateway.

RS G8124(config)# ip gateway6 1 address 2001:BA98:7654:BA98:FEDC:1234:ABCD:5412

RS G8124(config)# ip gateway6 1 enable

3.Verify the interface address.

RS G8124(config)# show interface ip 2

IPv6 Example 2

Use the following example to manually configure IPv6 on an interface.

1.Assign an IPv6 address and prefix length to the interface.

RS G8124(config)# interface ip 3

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# ipv6 address 2001:BA98:7654:BA98:FEDC:1234:ABCD:5214

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# ipv6 prefixlen 64

RS G8124(config-ip-if)#ipv6 seccaddr6 2003::1 32

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# vlan 2

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# enable

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# exit

The secondary IPv6 address is compressed, and the prefix length is 32.
