The
link-local
keyword indicates that the router interface should use the manually configured link-local address instead of the
automatically computed link-local address.
Configuring the management port for an IPv6
automatic address configuration
You can have the management port configured to automatically obtain an IPv6 address. This process is the same for any other port and
is described in detail in the section
Configuring a global or site-local IPv6 address on an interface
Configuring basic IPv6 connectivity on a Layer 3
switch
To configure basic IPv6 connectivity on a Brocade Layer 3 Switch, you must do the following:
•
Enable IPv6 routing globally on the switch
•
Configure an IPv6 address or explicitly enable IPv6 on each router interface over which you plan to forward IPv6 traffic
•
Configure IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks. (This step is mandatory only if you want a router interface to send and receive both
IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.)
All other configuration tasks in this chapter are optional.
Enabling IPv6 routing
By default, IPv6 routing is disabled. To enable the forwarding of IPv6 traffic globally on the Layer 3 switch, enter the following command.
device(config)#ipv6 unicast-routing
Syntax:
[no] ipv6 unicast-routing
To disable the forwarding of IPv6 traffic globally on the Brocade device, enter the
no
form of this command.
IPv6 configuration on each router interface
To forward IPv6 traffic on a router interface, the interface must have an IPv6 address, or IPv6 must be explicitly enabled. By default, an
IPv6 address is not configured on a router interface.
If you choose to configure a global or site-local IPv6 address for an interface, IPv6 is also enabled on the interface. Further, when you
configure a global or site-local IPv6 address, you must decide on one of the following in the low-order 64 bits:
•
A manually configured interface ID.
•
An automatically computed EUI-64 interface ID.
If you prefer to assign a link-local IPv6 address to the interface, you must explicitly enable IPv6 on the interface, which causes a link-local
address to be automatically computed for the interface. If preferred, you can override the automatically configured link-local address with
an address that you manually configure.
This section provides the following information:
•
Configuring a global or site-local address with a manually configured or automatically computed interface ID for an interface.
