IPv6 Addressing Configuration

Configuring a Static IPv6 Address on a VLAN

If IPv6 was enabled only by a statically configured link-
local address, then deleting the link-local address disables
IPv6 on the VLAN.

If other IPv6-enabling commands have been configured on
the VLAN, then deleting the statically configured link-local
address causes the switch to replace it with the default
(EUI-64) link-local address for the VLAN, and IPv6
remains enabled. (For more on the EUI-64 address format,
refer to “Extended Unique Identifier (EUI)” on page 3-14.)

Refer also to “Disabling IPv6 on a VLAN” on page 4-15

.

Statically Configuring A Global Unicast Address

Syntax:. [no] ipv6 address < network-prefix><device-id >/< prefix-length >

[no] ipv6 address < network-prefix>::/< prefix-length > eui-64

If IPv6 is not already enabled on a VLAN, either of these
command options do the following:

enable IPv6 on the VLAN

configure a link-local address using the EUI-64 format

statically configure a global unicast address

Note: An IPv4 loopback address must be configured on the
switch before you use the

ipv6 address command to statically

configure an address. Refer to “Operating Notes” on page 4­
14
.

If IPv6 is already enabled on the VLAN, then the above
commands statically configure a global unicast address, but
have no effect on the current link-local address.

< network-prefix >: This includes the global routing prefix and
the subnet ID for the address. For more on this topic, refer to
“Prefixes in Routable IPv6 Addresses” on page 3-18.

< device-id >: Enters a user-defined device identity.
