IPv6 Management Security Features

Authorized IP Managers for IPv6

Additional Examples of Authorized IPv6 Managers

Configuration

Authorizing Manager Access. The following IPv6 commands authorize manager-level access for one link-local station at a time. Note that when you enter a link-local IPv6 address with the ipv6 authorized-managerscommand, you must also enter a VLAN ID in the format: %vlan<vlan-id>.

ProCurve(config)# ipv6 authorized-managers fe80::07be:44ff:fec5:c965%vlan2

ProCurve(config)# ipv6 authorized-managers fe80::070a:294ff:fea4:733d%vlan2

ProCurve(config)# ipv6 authorized-managers fe80::19af:2cff:fe34:b04a%vlan5

If you do not enter an ipv6-maskvalue when you configure an authorized IPv6 address, the switch automatically uses FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF as the default IPv6 mask. Also, if you do not specify an access value to grant either Manager- or Operator-level access, by default, the switch assigns Man­ ager access. For example:

ProCurve# ipv6 authorized-managers 2001:db8::a8:1c:e3:69

ProCurve# show ipv6 authorized-managers

IPv6 Authorized Managers

--------------------------

Address : 2001:db8::a8:1c:e3:69

Mask : ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff

Access : Manager

If you do not enter a value for ipv6-maskin the ipv6 authorized-managerscommand, the default mask of FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF: is applied. The default mask authorizes only the specified station (see “Configuring Single Station Access” on page 6-5).
