3. Specify the VLAN to configure, enable address auto-configuration, or
enable IPv6 explicitly to automatically configure a link-local address
and enable IPv6 on the selected interface. Set the MTU size, the
maximum number of duplicate address detection messages, and the
neighbor solicitation message interval.

◆ All IPv6 addresses must be formatted according to RFC 2373 “IPv6
Addressing Architecture,” using 8 colon-separated 16-bit hexadecimal
values. One double colon may be used in the address to indicate the
appropriate number of zeros required to fill the undefined fields.
◆ The switch must always be configured with a link-local address.
Therefore any configuration process that enables IPv6 functionality, or
assigns a global unicast address to the switch, including address auto-
configuration or explicitly enabling IPv6 (see "Configuring IPv6
Interface Settings" on page 416 ), will also automatically generate a
link-local unicast address. The prefix length for a link-local address is
fixed at 64 bits, and the host portion of the default address is based on
the modified EUI-64 (Extended Universal Identifier) form of the
interface identifier (i.e., the physical MAC address). Alternatively, you
can manually configure the link-local address by entering the full
address with the network prefix FE80.
