IPv6 Enhancements
This Software Version includes the following enhancements to IPv6:
■ Setting a Metric for RIPv6
■ Additional Show Command Filtering
This section describes the enhancements. The modified commands to
implement them are described in Command Reference Updates.
Setting a Metric for RIPv6
A new metric parameter lets you specify the cost to RIPv6 for crossing the
logical interface. This parameter is allowed only on link-local interfaces.
Therefore, setting this parameter also sets the metrics for all logical interfaces
over the same IPv6 interface to the same value.
To specify the cost to RIPv6 for crossing the logical interface, use the new
metric parameter in either of the commands:
create ipv6 interface=interface metric=1..16 [other-options]
set ipv6 interface=interface metric=1..16 [other-options]
For more information about RIPv6, see the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)
chapter of your Software Reference.
Command Changes
The following table summarises the modified commands:
Additional Show Command Filtering
This Software Version includes the new full parameter for the command:
show ipv6 route [full]
The show ipv6 route full command displays all the routes in the IPv6 route
table. In previous software versions, the show ipv6 route command displayed
this. The show ipv6 route command now displays a subset of the routing table.
