Configuring an IPv6 host address for a BigIron RX running a switch image
43
Disabling IPv6 on a Layer 2 switch
IPv6 is enabled by default in the Layer 2 switch code. If desired, you can disable IPv6 on a global
basis on a device running the switch code. To do so, enter the following command at the Global
CONFIG level of the CLI.
BigIron RX(config)# no ipv6 enable
Syntax: no ipv6 enable
To re-enable IPv6 after it has been disabled, enter ipv6 enable.
NOTE
IPv6 is disabled by default in the router code and must be configured on each interface that will
support IPv6.
Configuring an IPv6 host address for a
BigIron RX
running a switch
image
NOTE
This feature is only available on the
BigIron RX
when it is configured as a switch. For this feature to
work it must have the CHD code enabled on the
BigIron RX
.
In the router configuration, each port can be configured separately with an IPv6 address. This is
accomplished using the interface configuration process that is described in
“Configuring IPv6 on
each router interface”
on page 1068.
When a
BigIron RX
is running a switch-only image of the code, individual ports cannot be
configured with an IP address (IPv4 or IPv6). In this situation the
BigIron RX
has one IP address for
the management port, and one IP address for the system. This has previously been supported for
IPv4 but not IPv6.
There is support for configuring an IPv6 address on the management port as described in
“Configuring the management port for an IPv6 automatic address configuration”
on page 1071 and
for configuring a system-wide IPv6 address on the
BigIron RX
in switch mode. Configuration of the
system-wide IPv6 address is exactly like configuration of an IPv6 address in router mode except
that all of the IPv6 configuration is at the Global Config level instead of at the Interface Config level.
The process for defining the system-wide interface for IPv6 is described in the following sections:
•
“Configuring a global or site-local IPv6 address with a manually configured interface ID as the
switch’s system-wide address”
on page 1077
•
“Configuring a global or site-local IPv6 address with an automatically computed EUI-64
interface ID as the switch’s system-wide address”
on page 1077
•
Refer to the
“Configuring a Link-Local IPv6 Address as the Switch’s System-Wide Address “
in
the
BigIron RX Installation Guide
.
