Dell S6000-ON, Configuration Manual

Page: 452 / 1080

You can configure up to two IPv6 addresses on management interfaces, allowing required default router
support on the management port that is acting as host, per RFC 4861. Data ports support more than two
IPv6 addresses.
When you configure IPv6 addresses on multiple interfaces (the
ipv6 address
command) and verify the
configuration (the
show ipv6 interfaces
command), the same link local (fe80) address is displayed
for each IPv6 interface.
• Enter the IPv6 Address for the device.
CONFIG-INTERFACE mode
ipv6 address ipv6 address/mask
–
ipv6 address
: x:x:x:x::x
–
mask
: The prefix length is from 0 to 128
NOTE: IPv6 addresses are normally written as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits. Separate
each group by a colon (:). Omitting zeros is accepted as described in
Addressing .
Assigning a Static IPv6 Route
To configure IPv6 static routes, use the
ipv6 route
command.
NOTE: After you configure a static IPv6 route (the
ipv6 route
command) and configure the
forwarding router’s address (specified in the
ipv6 route
command) on a neighbor’s interface, the
IPv6 neighbor does not display in the
show ipv6 route
command output.
• Set up IPv6 static routes.

Enter the keyword
interface
then the type of interface and slot/port information:
– For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
TenGigabitEthernet
then the slot/port/
subport information.
– For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
fortyGigE
then the slot/port information.
– For a Loopback interface, enter the keyword
loopback
then a number from 0 to 16383.
– For a port channel interface, enter the keywords
port-channel
then a number.
– For a Null interface, enter the keyword null then the Null interface number.
– For a VLAN interface, enter the keyword
vlan
then a number from 1 to 4094.
