IPv6 Commands

 

 

Add Custom-IPv6

 

Description

Adds a custom IPv6 address to the IOLAN. You can specify either a complete IPv6

User Level

address or an IPv6 network address.

Admin

Syntax

add custom-ipv6 method auto network-prefix <network_prefix>

 

[prefix-bits <0-64>]

 

add custom-ipv6 method manual ipv6-address <ipv6_address>

 

[prefix-bits <0-128>]

Options

method auto

 

When this option is specified, the IOLAN will derive an IPv6 address from the entered

 

network prefix and the IOLAN’s MAC address. This is the default option.

 

network-prefix

 

Specify the IPv6 network prefix. The IOLAN will derive the complete IPv6 address

 

from the entered network prefix and the IOLAN’s MAC address.

 

prefix-bits (auto)

 

Specify the network prefix bits for the IPv6 address.

 

Range: 0-64

 

Default: 64

 

method manual

 

Specify this option when you want to enter a specific IPv6 address.

 

ipv6-address

 

Specify the complete IPv6 address.

 

Field Format: IPv6 address

 

prefix-bits (manual)

 

Specify the network prefix bits for the IPv6 address.

 

Range: 0-128

 

Default: 64

Set Custom-IPv6

 

Description

Configures custom IPv6 network and IP addresses.

User Level

Admin

Syntax

set custom-ipv6 <config_ipv6_address> method auto

 

network-prefix <network_prefix> [prefix-bits <0-64>]

 

set custom-ipv6 <config_ipv6_address> method manual

 

ipv6-address <ipv6_address> [prefix-bits <0-128>]

Options

method auto

 

When this option is specified, the IOLAN will derive an IPv6 address from the entered

 

network prefix and the IOLAN’s MAC address. This is the default option.

 

network-prefix

 

Specify the IPv6 network prefix. The IOLAN will derive the complete IPv6 address

 

from the entered network prefix and the IOLAN’s MAC address.
