8.3.2. Configuration commands
This section describes the IPv6 commands you use to configure IPv6 on the system and on the interface.
8.3.2.1. ipv6 hop-limit
This command defines the unicast hop count used in ipv6 packets originated by the node. The value is also
included in router advertisements. The default “not configured” means that a value of zero is sent in router
advertisements and a value of 64 is sent in packets originated by the node. Note that this is not the same as
configuring a value of 64.
To return the unicast hop count to the default, use the no form of this command.
Format ipv6 hop-limit <hops>
no ipv6 hop-limit
Default Not configured
Mode Global Config
8.3.2.2. ipv6 unicast-routing
Use this command to enable the forwarding of IPv6 unicast packets.
To disable the forwarding of IPv6 unicast packets, use the no form of this command.

8.3.2.3. ipv6 enable
Use this command to enable IPv6 routing on an interface, including tunnel and loopback interfaces that has not
been configured with an explicit IPv6 address. When you use this command, the interface is automatically
configured with a link-local address. You do not need to use this command if you configured an IPv6 global
address on the interface.
To disable IPv6 routing on an interface, use the no form of this command.
