1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
device# enable
2. Enter the following command at the CLI Privileged EXEC level prompt, then press Enter . This
command erases the factory test configuration if still present.
device# erase startup-config
CAUTION
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command
on a system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you
accidentally do erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory
command to save the running configuration to the startup-config file.
3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command.
Privileged EXEC Level
device# configure terminal
Global CONFIG Level
device(config)#
4. Configure the IPv6 address and mask address for the interface.
device(config)# int e 1/5
device(config)# ipv6 address 2001:DB8:12D:1300:240:D0FF:FE48:4672:/64
These commands configure the global prefix 2001:DB8:12d:1300:/64 and the interface ID::
240:D0FF:FE48:4672, and enable IPv6 on interface e 1/5.
NOTE
The above procedure shows how to configure an IPv6 address with a manually configured
Interface ID as the address for the interface. You could also configure an IPv6 address with an
automatically computed EUI-64 Interface ID as the address for the interface. Link-local IPv6
addresses are also supported. For details, refer to the FastIron Configuration Guide.
Syntax: enable password
Syntax: configure terminal
Syntax:[no] ipv6address ipv6-prefix/prefix-length
You must specify the ipv6-prefix parameter in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as
documented in RFC 2373.
You must specify the prefix-length parameter in decimal value. A slash mark (/) must follow the
ipv6-prefix parameter and precede the prefix-length parameter.
Configuring IPv6 management interface while running Layer 2 software
To configure an IPv6 address to a device running Layer 2 software, complete the following tasks.
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable .
device> enable
2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt (for example, FastIron# ),
then press Enter. This command erases the factory test configuration if still present.
device# erase startup-config
