Supported IPv6 features
lists the IPv6 features supported on FastIrondevices.
The following table lists the individual BrocadeFastIron switches and the IPv6 features they support.
These features are supported with premium IPv6 devices running the full Layer 3 software image.

Static IPv6 route configuration
NOTE
Static IPv6 route configuration is supported only with the IPv6 Layer 3 license on FSX devices and the
full Layer 3 image on other devices.
You can configure a static IPv6 route to be redistributed into a routing protocol, but you cannot
redistribute routes learned by a routing protocol into the static IPv6 routing table.
NOTE
The maximum IPv6 static routes supported on an ICX 6450 device is 1070.
Before configuring a static IPv6 route, you must enable the forwarding of IPv6 traffic on the Layer 3
switch using the ipv6 unicast-routing command and enable IPv6 on at least one interface by
configuring an IPv6 address or explicitly enabling IPv6 on that interface. For more information on
performing these configuration tasks, refer to "Configuring IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks" section in the
FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide .
6
Supported with PREM license only.
7
3rd generation modules only.
