Stateless address autoconfiguration

Follow these steps to configure an interface to generate an IPv6 address by using stateless address

autoconfiguration:

To do...

Use the command...

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter interface view

interface interface-type
interface-number

Configure an IPv6 address to be
generated through stateless

address autoconfiguration

ipv6 address auto

Required
By default, no IPv6 global unicast

address is configured on an interface.

NOTE:

Using the undo ipv6 address auto command on an interface removes all IPv6 global unicast addresses
automatically generated on the interface.

Configuring an IPv6 link-local address

IPv6 link-local addresses can be configured in either of the following ways:

Automatic generation: The device automatically generates a link-local address for an interface
according to the link-local address prefix (FE80::/10) and the link-layer address of the interface.

Manual assignment: IPv6 link-local addresses can be assigned manually.

NOTE:

An interface can have only one link-local address. To avoid link-local address conflicts, use the
automatic generation method.

Manual assignment takes precedence over automatic generation. If you first use automatic generation
and then manual assignment, the manually assigned link-local address overwrites the automatically

generated one. If you first use manual assignment and then automatic generation, the automatically
generated link-local address does not take effect and the link-local address is still the manually assigned

one. If you delete the manually assigned address, the automatically generated link-local address is

validated.

Follow these steps to configure automatic generation of an IPv6 link-local address for an interface:

To do...

Use the command...

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter interface view

interface interface-type
interface-number

Configure the interface to
automatically generate an

IPv6 link-local address

ipv6 address auto link-local

Optional
By default, no link-local address is
configured on an interface.
After an IPv6 global unicast address is

configured on the interface, a link-local
address is generated automatically.

Follow these steps to configure an IPv6 link-local address manually:
