Showing IPv6 Addresses
Use the System > IPv6 Configuration (Show IPv6 Address) page to display the IPv6 addresses assigned to an interface.
The following table lists the options on this page:
Perform these steps to show the configured IPv6 addresses:
1.
Click
System
>
IPv6 Configuration
.
2.
Select Show IPv6 Address from the Action list.
3.
Select a VLAN from the list.
System - IPv6 Configuration Options
VLAN
ID of a configured VLAN. By default, all ports on the switch are members of VLAN 1. However, the
management station can be attached to a port belonging to any VLAN, as long as that VLAN has
been assigned an IP address. (Range: 1-4094)
IPv6 Address Type
The address type (Global, EUI-64, Link Local)
IPv6 Address
An IPv6 address assigned to this interface.
In addition to the unicast addresses assigned to an interface, a node is also required to listen to the
all-nodes multicast addresses FF01::1 (interface-local scope) and FF02::1 (link-local scope).
FF01::1/16 is the transient interface-local multicast address for all attached IPv6 nodes, and
FF02::1/16 is the link-local multicast address for all attached IPv6 nodes. The interface-local
multicast address is only used for loopback transmission of multicast traffic. Link-local multicast
addresses cover the same types as used by link-local unicast addresses, including all nodes
(FF02::1), all routers (FF02::2), and solicited nodes (FF02::1:FFXX:XXXX) as described below.
A node is also required to compute and join the associated solicited-node multicast addresses for
every unicast and anycast address it is assigned. IPv6 addresses that differ only in the high-order
bits, e.g. due to multiple high-order prefixes associated with different aggregations, will map to the
same solicited- node address, thereby reducing the number of multicast addresses a node must
join. In this example, FF02::1:FF90:0/104 is the solicited-node multicast address which is formed
by taking the low-order 24 bits of the address and appending those bits to the prefix.
Note that the solicited-node multicast address (link-local scope FF02) is used to resolve the MAC
addresses for neighbor nodes since IPv6 does not support the broadcast method used by the
Address Resolution Protocol in IPv4.
These additional addresses are displayed by the
show ip interface
command described in the CLI
Reference Guide).
Configuration Mode
Indicates if this address was automatically generated or manually configured.
