Usage
Information
• If two addresses are configured, you must 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 com-
mand, 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 a 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.
ipv6 control-plane icmp error-rate-limit
Configure the maximum number of ICMP error packets per second that can be sent per
second.
Syntax
ipv6 control-plane icmp error-rate-limit {1-200}
To restore the default value, use the no ipv6 control-plane icmp error-rate-limit command.
Parameters
ipv6-address
prefix-length
Enter the IPv6 address in the x:x:x:x::x format followed by the prefix length in
the /x format.
Range: /0 to /128
Note: The :: notation specifies successive hexadecimal fields of zeros
Version 8.3.7.0 Introduced on the S4810
Version 8.4.1.0 Support added on the management Ethernet port.
Version 8.2.1.0 Introduced on E-Series ExaScale
Version 7.8.1.0 Introduced on C-Series and S-Series
Version 7.4.1.0 Introduced on E-Series TeraScale
pps Enter the maximum number of error packets to be generated per second.
Range: 1 to 200, where 0 disables the rate-limiting.
