Chapter 39 Configuring IPv6 Unicast Routing
Configuring IPv6
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to assign an IPv6 address to a Layer 3 interface
and enable IPv6 routing:
To remove an IPv6 address from an interface, use the no ipv6 address ipv6-prefix/prefix length eui-64
or no ipv6 address ipv6-address link-local interface configuration command. To remove all manually
configured IPv6 addresses from an interface, use the no ipv6 address interface configuration command
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2 sdm prefer dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 {default |
routing | vlan} Select an SDM template that supports IPv4 and IPv6.
• default—Set the switch to the default template to balance
system resources.
• routing—Set the switch to the routing template to support
IPv4 and IPv6 routing, including IPv4 policy-based routing.
• vlan—Maximize VLAN configuration on the switch with
no routing supported in hardware.
Step 3 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4 reload Reload the operating system.
Step 5 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode after the switch reloads.
Step 6 interface interface-id Enter interface configuration mode, and specify the Layer 3
interface to configure. The interface can be a physical interface,
a switch virtual interface (SVI), or a Layer 3 EtherChannel.
Step 7 no switchport Remove the interface from Layer 2 configuration mode (if it is a
physical interface).
Step 8 ipv6 address ipv6-prefix/prefix length eui-64
or
ipv6 address ipv6-address link-local
or
ipv6 enable
Specify a global IPv6 address with an extended unique identifier
(EUI) in the low-order 64 bits of the IPv6 address. Specify only
the network prefix; the last 64 bits are automatically computed
from the switch MAC address. This enables IPv6 processing on
the interface.
Specify a link-local address on the interface to be used instead
of the link-local address that is automatically configured when
IPv6 is enabled on the interface. This command enables IPv6
processing on the interface.
Automatically configure an IPv6 link-local address on the
interface, and enable the interface for IPv6 processing. The
link-local address can only be used to communicate with nodes
on the same link.
Step 9 exit Return to global configuration mode.
Step 10 ip routing Enable IP routing on the switch.
Step 11 ipv6 unicast-routing Enable forwarding of IPv6 unicast data packets.
Step 12 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 13 show ipv6 interface interface-id Verify your entries.
Step 14 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
