IPv6 Basics

IPv6 basic commands are supported on the Dell Networking OS.

NOTE: For information about the Dell Networking operating software version and platform that supports IPv6 in each software feature, refer to the IPv6 Addressing chapter of the Dell Networking OS Configuration Guide.

cam-ipv6 extended-prefix

Enable LPM partitioning to support IPv6 /65 to /128 route prefixes to be stored in Partition 1.

S6000

Syntax

cam-ipv6 extended-prefix <Max-IPv6-prefixes>

 

To remove LPM partitioning configuration, use no cam-ipv6 extended-prefix.

Parameters

Max-IPv6-

Maximum number of IPv6 prefixes in the mask length of /65

 

 

Prefix

to /128. The possible values are 1024, 2048, and 3072.

Defaults

Command Modes

Command History

LPM is not partitioned with Partition 1 and therefore /65 to /128 prefixes are not converted to /64 prefixes and are installed and saved in LPM. All the packets for those routes traverse through the default route path.

CONFIGURATION

Version

Description

9.7(0.0)

Introduced on the S6000-ON.

9.3(0.1)

Introduced on the S6000.

Usage

You can partition the LPM table to store IPv6 prefixes greater than /64 mask length.

Information

Requires reboot of the switch to take effect as the SDK handles this only during its

 

initialization.
