Overview

This Appendix provides methods for demonstrating IPv6 functionality on Broadmore.

You can find more test methods in the Product Application Notice: Broadmore IPv6
(PAN-07-0001), which is available on the Customer Support website.

Configuring IPv6 Addresses for Network Interfaces

When the system boots up, an IPv6 address of link-local scope is configured on all the
network interfaces. This section provides steps to configure a network interface.

Adding an IPv6 Address

To set the IPv6 address on the Ethernet interface, from the Broadmore shell issue the
command ifconf6 with the argument -a. For example:

Broadmore-> ifconf6 1 -a 3ffe:0:0:13::5

The above command sets the IPv6 address 3ffe:0:0:13::5 on the Ethernet
interface 1.

Displaying an Address

Check the interface configuration.
