set ipv6 address

set ipv6 address

Use this command to configure IPv6 global addressing information.

Syntax

set ipv6 address ipv6-addr/prefix-length [eui64]

Parameters

ipv6‐addr

The IPv6 address or prefix to be configured. This parameter must be in the

 

form documented in RFC 4291, with the address specified in hexadecimal

 

using 16‐bit values between colons.

 

 

prefix‐length

The length of the IPv6 prefix for this address. The value of prefix‐length is a

 

decimal number indicating the number of high‐order contiguous bits of the

 

address that comprise the network portion of the address.

 

 

eui64

(Optional) Formulate the IPv6 address using an EUI‐64 ID in the lower

 

order 64 bits of the address.

 

 

Defaults

No global unicast IPv6 address is defined by default.

Mode

Switch mode, read‐write.

Usage

Use this command to manually configure a global unicast IPv6 address for IPv6 management. You can specify the address completely, or you can use the optional eui64 parameter to allow the switch to generate the lower order 64 bits of the address.

When using the eui64 parameter, you specify only the network prefix and length.

Examples

This example shows how to completely specify an IPv6 address by entering all 128 bits and the prefix:

C3(su)->set ipv6 address 2001:0db8:1234:5555::9876:2/64

C3(su)->show ipv6 address

host

FE80::201:F4FF:FE5C:2880/64

host

2001:DB8:1234:5555::9876:2/64

This example shows how to use the eui64 parameter to configure the lower order 64 bits:

C3(su)->set ipv6 address 2001:0db8:1234:5555::/64 eui64

C3(su)->show ipv6 address
