Information
● If two addresses are configured, delete an existing address before configuring a new address.
● If the last manually-configured global IPv6 address is removed using the “no” form of the command,
the link-local IPv6 address is removed automatically.
● IPv6 addresses on a single management interface cannot be members of the same subnet.
● IPv6 secondary addresses on management interfaces across platform must be members of the same
subnet.
● IPv6 secondary addresses on management interfaces should not match the virtual IP address and
should not be in the same subnet as the virtual IP.
