Chapter 39 Configuring IPv6 Unicast Routing

Configuring IPv6

without arguments. To disable IPv6 processing on an interface that has not been explicitly configured
with an IPv6 address, use the no ipv6 enable interface configuration command. To globally disable IPv6
routing, use the no ipv6 unicast-routing global configuration command.

This example shows how to enable IPv6 with both a link-local address and a global address based on the
IPv6 prefix 2001:0DB8:c18:1::/64. The EUI-64 interface ID is used in the low-order 64 bits of both
addresses. Output from the show ipv6 interface EXEC command shows how the interface ID
(20B:46FF:FE2F:D940) is appended to the link-local prefix FE80::/64 of the interface.

Switch(config)# sdm prefer dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 default

Switch(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/1

Switch(config-if)# no switchport

Switch(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:0DB8:c18:1::/64 eui 64

Switch(config-if)# end

Switch# show ipv6 interface gigabitethernet1/0/1

GigabitEthernet1/0/1 is up, line protocol is up

IPv6 is enabled, link-local address is FE80::20B:46FF:FE2F:D940

Global unicast address(es):

2001:0DB8:c18:1:20B:46FF:FE2F:D940, subnet is 2001:0DB8:c18:1::/64 [EUI]

Joined group address(es):

FF02::1

FF02::2

FF02::1:FF2F:D940

MTU is 1500 bytes

ICMP error messages limited to one every 100 milliseconds

ICMP redirects are enabled

ND DAD is enabled, number of DAD attempts: 1

ND reachable time is 30000 milliseconds

ND advertised reachable time is 0 milliseconds

ND advertised retransmit interval is 0 milliseconds

ND router advertisements are sent every 200 seconds

ND router advertisements live for 1800 seconds

Hosts use stateless autoconfig for addresses.

Configuring Default Router Preference

Router advertisement messages are sent with the default router preference (DRP) configured by the
ipv6 nd router-preference interface configuration command. If no DRP is configured, RAs are sent
with a medium preference.

A DRP is useful when two routers on a link might provide equivalent, but not equal-cost routing, and
policy might dictate that hosts should prefer one of the routers.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a DRP for a router on an interface.

Command

Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

interface interface-id

Enter interface configuration mode, and enter the Layer 3 interface on
which you want to specify the DRP.

Step 3

ipv6 nd router-preference {high |
medium | low}

Specify a DRP for the router on the switch interface.

Step 4

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 5

show ipv6 interface

Verify the configuration.

Step 6

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
