IPv6 Addressing Configuration

Configuring IPv6 Addressing

4.If needed, statically configure IPv6 unicast addressing on the VLAN interface as needed. This can include any of the following:

•statically replacing the automatically generated link-local address

•statically adding global unicast, unique local unicast, and/or anycast addresses

Configuring IPv6 Addressing

In the default configuration on a VLAN, any one of the following commands enables IPv6 and creates a link-local address. Thus, while any one of these methods is configured on a VLAN, IPv6 remains enabled and a link-local address is present:

ipv6 enable (page 4-6)

ipv6 address autoconfig (page 4-7)

ipv6 address dhcp full [rapid-commit] (page 4-9)

ipv6 address fe80:0:0:0:< device-identifier> link-local (page 4-12)ipv6 address < prefix:device-identifier> (page 4-13)

Addresses created by any of these methods remain tentative until verified as unique by Duplicate Address Detection. (Refer to “Duplicate Address Detec­ tion (DAD)” on page 4-18.)
