Note

If there is a management IPv6 address already assigned to the
switch, you must delete it prior to entering the new address. For
instructions, refer to “Deleting an IPv6 Management Address and
Default Gateway” on page 304.

Here are several examples of the command. The first example assigns the
switch this static management IPv6 address to the Default_VLAN with VID
number 1.

90:0a21:091b:0000:0000:0000:09bd:c458

Here are the commands:

awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface vlan1
awplus(config-if)# ipv6 address 90:a21:91b::9bd:c458/64
awplus(config-if)# exit

This example assigns a management IPv6 address to a VLAN with the
VID 8:

awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface vlan8
awplus(config-if)# ipv6 address 1857:80cf:d54::1a:8f57/64
awplus(config-if)# exit

Note

You cannot use a DHCP server or SLAAC (State Address
Autoconfiguration) to assign the switch a dynamic IPv6 address. The
switch supports only a single static IPv6 address.

Adding an IPv6

Default Gateway

Address

The switch must be assigned a default gateway if the management
devices (for example, TFTP servers, Telnet clients and SSH clients) are
not members of the same subnet as its management IPv6 address. A
default gateway is an IP address of an interface on a router or other Layer
3 device that is the first hop to the networks in which the management
devices are located. The switch can have only one IPv6 default gateway
and the address must be a member of the same subnet as the
management IPv6 address.

The command for assigning the default gateway is the IPV6 ROUTE
command in the Global Configuration mode. Here is the format of the
command:

ipv6 route ::/0

ipaddress
