ipv6 address link-local
Use the ipv6 address link-local command in Interface Configuration mode to
configure an IPv6 link local address for an interface and enable IPv6
processing on the interface.
To remove the manually configured link local address from the interface, use
the no form of this command.
Syntax
ipv6 address ipv6-prefix link-local
no ipv6 address [link-local]
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.
Default Configuration
The default Link-local address is defined.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration mode
User Guidelines
The switch automatically generates a link local address for an interface when
IPv6 processing is enabled on the interface, typically when an IPv6 address is
configured on the interface. To manually specify a link local address to be
used by an interface, use the ipv6 address link-local command.
The ipv6 address link-local command cannot be applied to define an IPv6
address on an ISATAP interface.
Using the no IPv6 address command without arguments removes all
manually-configured IPv6 addresses from an interface, including link local
manually configured addresses.
