IPv6 management on Brocade ICX 6650 devices (IPv6 host support)
5
Restricting SNMP access to an IPv6 node
You can restrict SNMP access to the device to the IPv6 host whose IP address you specify. To do
so, enter a command such as the following.
Brocade(config)#snmp-client ipv6 2001:DB8:89::23
Syntax: snmp-client ipv6 <ipv6-address>
The <ipv6-address> you specify must be in hexadecimal format using 16-bit values between colons
as documented in RFC 2373.
Specifying an IPv6 SNMP trap receiver
You can specify an IPv6 host as a trap receiver to ensure that all SNMP traps sent by the device will
go to the same SNMP trap receiver or set of receivers, typically one or more host devices on the
network. To do so, enter a command such as the following.
Brocade(config)#snmp-server host ipv6 2001:DB8:89::13
Syntax: snmp-server host ipv6 <ipv6-address>
The <ipv6-address> you specify must be in hexadecimal format using 16-bit values between colons
as documented in RFC 2373.
Configuring SNMP V3 over IPv6
Brocade ICX 6650 devices support IPv6 for SNMP version 3. For more information about how to
configure SNMP, refer to
Chapter 6, “SNMP Access” .
Configuring SNTP over IPv6
To enable the Brocade device to send SNTP packets over IPv6, enter a command such as the
following at the Global CONFIG level of the CLI.
Brocade(config)#sntp server ipv6 2001:DB8::400
Syntax: sntp server ipv6 <ipv6-address>
The <ipv6-address> is the IPv6 address of the SNTP server. When you enter the IPv6 address, you
do not need to specify the prefix length. A prefix length of 128 is implied.
Secure Shell, SCP, and IPv6
Secure Shell (SSH) is a mechanism that allows secure remote access to management functions on
the Brocade device. SSH provides a function similar to Telnet. You can log in to and configure the
Brocade device using a publicly or commercially available SSH client program, just as you can with
Telnet. However, unlike Telnet, which provides no security, SSH provides a secure, encrypted
connection to the Brocade device.
