Configuring IPv6 Unicast Routing
Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is the network-layer Internet Protocol intended to replace Version 4
(IPv4) in the TCP/IP suite of protocols. This chapter describes how to configure IPv6 unicast routing on
the switch.
For information about configuring IPv4 unicast routing, see Chapter 38, “Configuring IP Unicast
Routing.” For information about configuring IPv6 Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping, see
Chapter 25, “Configuring IPv6 MLD Snooping.” For information on configuring IPv6 access control
lists (ACLs) see Chapter 35, “Configuring IPv6 ACLs.”
To use this feature, the switch or stack master must be running the IP services feature set. This feature
set includes all IP services features plus IPv6 host and unicast routing support.
To enable IPv6 routing, you must configure the switch to use the a dual IPv4 and IPv6 switch database
management (SDM) template. See the
“Dual IPv4 and IPv6 Protocol Stacks” section on page 39-5 .
Unless otherwise noted, the term switch refers to a standalone switch and to a switch stack.
Note For complete syntax and usage information for the commands used in this chapter, see the Cisco IOS
documentation referenced in the procedures

Understanding IPv6
IPv4 users can move to IPv6 and receive services such as end-to-end security, quality of service (QoS),
and globally unique addresses. The IPv6 address space reduces the need for private addresses and
Network Address Translation (NAT) processing by border routers at network edges.
