Parameters
• ipv6-address —Specifies the IPv6 network assigned to the interface. This
argument must be in the form documented in RFC4293 where the address
is specified in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons.
•
prefix-length —The length of the IPv6 prefix. A decimal value that
indicates how many of the high-order contiguous bits of the address
comprise the prefix (the network portion of the address). A slash mark
must precede the decimal value.
Default Configuration
No IP address is defined for the interface.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration mode
User Guidelines
If the value specified for the prefix-length argument is greater than 64 bits,
the prefix bits have precedence over the interface ID.
If the switch detects another host using one of its IPv6 addresses, it adds the
IPv6 address and displays an error message on the console.
Using the no IPv6 address command without arguments removes all
manually-configured IPv6 addresses from an interface, including link local
manually-configured addresses.
Example
The following example enables IPv6 processing on VLAN 1, configures IPv6
global address 2001:0DB8:0:1::/64 and specifies an EUI-64 interface ID in the
low order 64 bits of the address:
console(config)# interface vlan 1
console(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:0DB8:0:1::/64 eui-64
console(config-if)#
exit
