White Papers

● 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.
NOTE: Do not use the /128 prefix length on physical or port channel interfaces. You can use the /128
prefix length on loopback interfaces.
Example
DellEMC(conf)# interface tengigabitethernet 1/2
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/2)# ipv6 address ?
X:X:X:X::X IPv6 address
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/2)# ipv6 address 2002:1:2::3 ?
<0-128> Prefix length in bits
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/2)# ipv6 address 2002:1:2::3 /96 ?

interface TenGigabitEthernet 1/2
no ip address
ipv6 address 2002:1:2::3 /96
no shutdown
ipv6 address eui64
Configure IPv6 EUI64 address configuration on the interface.
S4810
Syntax
ipv6 address {ipv6-address prefix-length} eui64
To disable IPv6 EUI64 address autoconfiguration, use the no ipv6 address {ipv6-address
prefix-length} eui64 command.
Parameters
ipv6-address
prefix-length
Enter the IPv6 prefix in the x:x:x:x::x format then the prefix length in the /x format.
The range is from /0 to /128.
NOTE: The :: notation specifies successive hexadecimal fields of zeros.
Defaults None

EMC Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide.
Version Description
9.8(0.0P5) Introduced on the S4048-ON.
9.8(0.0P2) Introduced on the S3048-ON.
9.7(0.0) Introduced on the S6000-ON.
9.2(1.0) Introduced on the Z9500.
9.2(0.2) Introduced.
Usage
Information
This command allows you to create an EUI64 address based on the specified prefix and MAC address
only. Prefixes may be configured on the interface using the ipv6 nd prefix command without
creating an EUI64 address.
