Viewing IPv6 Information
The IP addresses that appear depend on whether the interface ha s o nly I Pv4 a ddresse s, on l y IP v6
addresses, or both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, as shown in Table 17-4.
Note the following when working with IPv6 addresses:
• MPLS label switching entries and Label Switching Entities (LSEs) do not display IPv6 addresses.
However, the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) table does display IPv6 addresses.
• Prime Network supports all the textual presentations of address prefixes. However, Prime Network
Vision displays both the IP address and the subnet prefix, for example:
12AB::CD30:123:4567:89AB:CDEF, 12AB:0:0:CD30::/60
Note Interfaces or subinterfaces that do not have IP addresses are not discovered and t herefore are not shown
in Prime Network Vision.
Figure 17-1 shows a port inventory view of a port with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. In t his examp le, on e
IPv4 address and multiple IPv6 addresses are provisioned on the interface.
• The primary IPv4 address appears in the interface table and pr opert ie s wi ndow. If secondary IPv4
addresses were provisioned on the interface, they would appear in the pr opert ie s wind ow.
• IPv6 addresses provisioned on the interface appear in the properties window and Sub Interfaces tab.
Physical Inventory
Port IPv6 addresses appear in the Subinterfaces tab and interface
properties popup window.
