To set the IP address of the default gateway for the network to which
the switch belongs, type “ip default-gateway gateway,” where

“gateway” is the IP address of the default gateway. Press <Enter>.

Console(config)#interface vlan 1

Console(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0

Console(config-if)#exit

This section describes how to configure a “link local” address for

connectivity within the local subnet only, and also how to configure a

“global unicast” address, including a network prefix for use on a multi-

segment network and the host portion of the address.

An IPv6 prefix or address must be formatted according to RFC 2373 “IPv6

Addressing Architecture,” using 8 colon-separated 16-bit hexadecimal

values. One double colon may be used to indicate the appropriate number

of zeros required to fill the undefined fields. For detailed information on the

other ways to assign IPv6 addresses, see

"Setting the Switch’s IP Address

(IP Version 6)" on page 415

.

Link Local Address — All link-local addresses must be configured with a

prefix of FE80. Remember that this address type makes the switch

accessible over IPv6 for all devices attached to the same local subnet only.

Also, if the switch detects that the address you configured conflicts with

that in use by another device on the subnet, it will stop using the address

in question, and automatically generate a link local address that does not

conflict with any other devices on the local subnet.

To configure an IPv6 link local address for the switch, complete the

following steps:

1.

From the Global Configuration mode prompt, type “interface vlan 1” to
access the interface-configuration mode. Press <Enter>.

2.

Type “ipv6 address” followed by up to 8 colon-separated 16-bit
hexadecimal values for the ipv6-address similar to that shown in the

example, followed by the “link-local” command parameter. Then press

<Enter>.

Console(config)#interface vlan 1

Console(config-if)#ipv6 address FE80::260:3EFF:FE11:6700 link-local

Console(config-if)#end

Console#show ipv6 interface

IPv6 is stale.
