Configuring IPv6 Addressing and Enabling IPv6 Host
This section describes how to assign IPv6 addresses to individual Layer 3 interfaces and to globally forward IPv6 traffic
on the switch.
Before configuring IPv6 on the switch, consider these guidelines:
Be sure to select a dual IPv4 and IPv6 SDM template.
In the
ipv6 address
interface configuration command, you must enter the
ipv6-address
and
ipv6-prefix
variables
with the address specified in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons. The
prefix-length
variable (preceded
by a slash [/]) is a decimal value that shows how many of the high-order contiguous bits of the address comprise
the prefix (the network portion of the address).
To forward IPv6 traffic on an interface, you must configure a global IPv6 address on that interface. Configuring an IPv6
address on an interface automatically configures a link-local address and activates IPv6 for the interface. The configured
interface automatically joins these required multicast groups for that link:
solicited-node multicast group FF02:0:0:0:0:1:ff00::/104 for each unicast address assigned to the interface (this
address is used in the neighbor discovery process.)
all-nodes link-local multicast group FF02::1
all-routers link-local multicast group FF02::2
For more information about configuring IPv6, see the “Implementing Addressing and Basic Connectivity for IPv6” chapter
in the
Cisco IOS IPv6 Configuration Library
on Cisco.com.
