IPv6 Management Security Features
Authorized IP Managers for IPv6

Each authorized station has the same 64-bit device ID (

244:17FF:FEB6:D37D)

because the value of the last four blocks in the mask is

FFFF (binary value

1111 1111).

FFFF requires all bits in each corresponding block of an authorized IPv6
address to have the same “on” or “off” setting as the device ID in the
specified IPv6 address. In this case, each bit in the device ID (last four
blocks) in an authorized IPv6 address is fixed and can be only one value:
244:17FF:FEB6:D37D.

In this example, the IPv6 mask allows up
to four stations in different subnets to
access the switch. This authorized IP
manager configuration is useful if only
management stations are specified by
the authorized IPv6 addresses. Refer to
Figure 6-4 for how the bitmap of the IPv6
mask determines authorized IP manager
stations.
