Chapter9 Completing Interface Configuration (Transparent Mode)
Completing Interface Configuration in Transparent Mode
Configuring a Global IPv6 Address and Other Options
To configure a global IPv6 address and other options for a bridge group or management interface,
perform the following steps.
Note Configuring the global address automatically configures the link-local address, so you do not need to
configure it separately.
Restrictions
The ASA does not support IPv6 anycast addresses.
Prerequisites
Set up your interfaces depending on your model:
ASA 5510 and higher—Chapter6, “Starting Interface Configuration (ASA 5510 and Higher).”
ASA 5505—Chapter7, “Starting Interface Configuration (ASA 5505).”
In multiple context mode, you can only configure context interfaces that you already assigned to the
context in the system configuration according to the “Configuring Multiple Contexts” section on
page 5-14.
In multiple context mode, complete this procedure in the context execution space. To change from
the system to a context configuration, enter the changeto context name command.
Detailed Steps
Command Purpose
Step1 For the bridge group:
interface bvi bridge_group_id
For the management interface:
interface management_interface_id
Example:
hostname(config)# interface bvi 1
If you are not already in interface configuration mode, enters
interface configuration mode.
Step2 ipv6 address ipv6-address/prefix-length
[standby ipv6-address]
Example:
hostname(config-if)# ipv6 address
2001:0DB8::BA98:0:3210/48
Assigns a global address to the interface. When you assign a
global address, the link-local address is automatically created for
the interface (for a bridge group, for each member interface).
standby specifies the interface address used by the secondary unit
or failover group in a failover pair.
Note The eui-64 keyword to use the Modified EUI-64 interface
ID for the interface ID is not supported in transparent
mode.
See the “IPv6 Addresses” section on pageB-5 for more
information about IPv6 addressing.
