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