ipv6 address

This command configures a global IPv6 address on an interface, including VLAN, tunnel, and loopback interfaces, and enables IPv6 processing on the interface.

Syntax

ipv6 address {ipv6-addr/prefix-length ipv6-prefix/prefix-length eui64}

no ipv6 address [ipv6-addr/prefix-length ipv6-prefix/prefix-length eui64]

Parameters

ipv6‐addr

The IPv6 address to be configured on the interface.

 

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.

 

If the eui64 parameter is used, this value must be 64 bits.

 

 

ipv6‐prefix

The IPv6 prefix to be configured on the interface.

 

This parameter must be in the form documented in RFC 4291, with the

 

address specified in hexadecimal using 16‐bit values between colons.

 

 

eui64

Configures an IPv6 address for an interface using an EUI‐64 interface ID

 

in the low order 64 bits of the address and enables IPv6 processing on

 

the interface.

 

 

Defaults

No IPv6 addresses are defined for any interface.

Mode

Router interface configuration: C3(su)‐>router(Config‐if(Vlan 1))#

Usage

Use this command to manually configure a global IPv6 address on an interface. You can enter the complete 128‐bit address and prefix, or use the eui64 parameter to configure a global IPv6 address using an EUI‐64 identifier in the low order 64 bits of the address. When using the eui64 parameter, you specify only the network prefix and length, and the SecureStack C3 generates the low order 64 bits.

The hexadecimal letters in the IPv6 addresses are not case‐sensitive.
