IPv6 Addressing Configuration
Configuring a Static IPv6 Address on a VLAN
■DHCPv6 and statically configured global unicast or anycast addresses are mutually exclusive on a given VLAN. That is, configuring DHCPv6 on a VLAN erases any static global unicast or anycast addresses previously configured on that VLAN, and the reverse. (A statically configured link- local address will not be affected by configuring DHCPv6 on the VLAN.)
■For the same subnet on the switch, a DHCPv6 global unicast address assignment takes precedence over an autoconfigured address assign- ment, regardless of which address type was the first to be configured. If DHCPv6 is subsequently removed from the configuration, then an auto- configured address assignment will replace it after the next router adver- tisement is received on the VLAN.
