IPv6 Basics
IPv6 basic commands are supported on the Dell EMC Networking OS.
NOTE: For information about the Dell EMC Networking OS version and platform that supports IPv6 in each software
feature, see the IPv6 Addressing section in the Dell EMC Networking OS Configuration Guide.

cam-ipv6 extended-prefix
Enable LPM partitioning to support IPv6 /65 to /128 route prefixes to be stored in Partition 1.
Syntax
cam-ipv6 extended-prefix <Max-IPv6-prefixes>
To remove LPM partitioning configuration, use no cam-ipv6 extended-prefix.
Parameters
Max-IPv6-Prefix Maximum number of IPv6 prefixes in the mask length of /65 to /128. The possible
values are 1024, 2048, and 3072.
Defaults LPM is not partitioned with Partition 1 and therefore /65 to /128 prefixes are not converted to /64
prefixes and are installed and saved in LPM. All the packets for those routes traverse through the default
route path.

Information
You can partition the LPM table to store IPv6 prefixes greater than /64 mask length. Requires reboot of
the switch to take effect as the SDK handles this only during its initialization.
