Chapter 35 Configuring IPv6 Host Functions
Configuring IPv6
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
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)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:0DB8:c18:1::/64 eui 64
Switch(config-if)# end
Switch# show ipv6 interface gigabitethernet0/1
GigabitEthernet0/1 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.
