5 IPv6 management on Brocade ICX 6650 devices (IPv6 host support)

To open an SSH session between an IPv6 host running an SSH client program and the Brocade device, open the SSH client program and specify the IPv6 address of the device. For more information about configuring SSH on the Brocade device, refer to the Brocade ICX 6650 Switch Security Configuration Guide.

IPv6 Telnet

Telnet sessions can be established between a Brocade device to a remote IPv6 host, and from a remote IPv6 host to the Brocade device using IPv6 addresses.

The telnet command establishes a Telnet connection from a Brocade device to a remote IPv6 host using the console. Up to five read-accessTelnet sessions are supported on the router at one time. Write-accessthrough Telnet is limited to one session, and only one outgoing Telnet session is supported on the router at one time. To see the number of open Telnet sessions at any time, enter the show telnet command.

Example

To establish a Telnet connection to a remote host with the IPv6 address of 2001:DB8::1, enter the following command.

Brocade#telnet ipv6 2001:DB8::1

Syntax: telnet <ipv6-address>[<port-number>outgoing-interface ethernet <stack-unit>/<slot>/<port>ve <number>]

The <ipv6-address>parameter specifies the address of a remote host. You must specify this address in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.

The <port-number>parameter specifies the port number on which the Brocade device establishes the Telnet connection. You can specify a value between 1 - 65535. If you do not specify a port number, the Brocade device establishes the Telnet connection on port 23.

If the IPv6 address you specify is a link-local address, you must specify the outgoing-interfaceethernet <stack-unit>/<slot>/<port> ve <number> parameter. This parameter identifies the interface that must be used to reach the remote host. Specify the ethernet port in the <stack-unit>/<slot>/<port>format. Stack-unit is 1. If you specify a VE interface, also specify the VE number.

Establishing a Telnet session from an IPv6 host

To establish a Telnet session from an IPv6 host to the Brocade device, open your Telnet application and specify the IPv6 address of the Layer 3 Switch.

IPv6 traceroute

NOTE

This section describes the IPv6 traceroute command. For details about IPv4 traceroute, refer to “Tracing an IPv4 route” on page 71.

The traceroute command allows you to trace a path from the Brocade device to an IPv6 host.
