Support on the switch includes expanded address capability, header format simplification, improved
support of extensions and options, and hardware parsing of the extension header. The switch supports
hop-by-hop extension header packets, which are routed or bridged in software.
The switch provides IPv6 routing capability over 802.1Q trunk ports for static routes, Routing
Information Protocol (RIP) for IPv6, and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Version 3 protocol. It supports
up to 16 equal-cost routes and can forward IPv4 and IPv6 frames simultaneously at line rate.
