Chapter 39 Configuring IPv6 Unicast Routing
Configuring IPv6
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change the ICMP rate-limiting parameters:
To return to the default configuration, use the
no
ipv6 icmp error-interval
global configuration
command.
This example shows how to configure an IPv6 ICMP error message interval of 50 milliseconds and a
bucket size of 20 tokens.
Switch(config)#
ipv6 icmp error-interval 50 20
Configuring CEF and dCEF for IPv6
Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) is a Layer 3 IP switching technology to improve network performance.
In a switch stack, the hardware uses distributed CEF (dCEF) in the stack. IPv6 CEF is IPv6 CEF and
dCEF are disabled by default but are automatically enabled when you configure IPv6 routing.
To route IPv6 unicast packets, you must first globally configure IPv6 unicast packet forwarding by using
the
ipv6 unicast-routing
global configuration command. You must configure an IPv6 address and IPv6
processing on an interface by using the
ipv6 address
interface configuration command.
To disable IPv6 CEF or distributed CEF, use the
no
ipv6 cef
or
no
ipv6 cef distributed
global
configuration command. To reenable IPv6 CEF or dCEF if it has been disabled, use the
ipv6 cef
or
ipv6
cef distributed
global configuration command. You can verify the IPv6 state by entering the
show ipv6
cef
privileged EXEC command.
For more information about configuring CEF and dCEF, see the “Implementing IPv6 Addressing and
Basic Connectivity” chapter in the
Cisco IOS IPv6 Configuration Library
on Cisco.com.
Configuring Static Routes for IPv6
Before configuring a static IPv6 route, you must enable routing by using the
ip routing
global
configuration command, enable the forwarding of IPv6 packets by using the
ipv6 unicast-routing
global configuration command, and enable IPv6 on at least one Layer 3 interface by configuring an IPv6
address on the interface.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
ipv6 icmp error-interval
interval
[
bucketsize
]
Configure the interval and bucket size for IPv6 ICMP error
messages:
•
interval—
The interval (in milliseconds) between tokens
being added to the bucket. The range is from 0 to
2147483647 milliseconds.
•
bucketsize—(Optional) The maximum number of tokens
stored in the bucket. The range is from 1 to 200.
Step 3
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4
show ipv6 interface
[
interface-id
]
Verify your entries.
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
