IPv6 Interface
– 1665 –
◆
An IPv6 default gateway should be defined if the destination has been
assigned an IPv6 address that is located in a different IP segment.
◆
An IPv6 default gateway can only be successfully set when a network
interface that directly connects to the gateway has been configured on
the router.
E

The following example defines a default gateway for this device:
Console(config)#ipv6 default-gateway FE80::269:3EF9:FE19:6780%1

ipv6 address
This command configures an IPv6 global unicast address and enables IPv6
on an interface. Use the no form without any arguments to remove all IPv6
addresses from the interface, or use the no form with a specific IPv6
address to remove that address from the interface.

[ no ] ipv6 address ipv6-address [/ prefix-length ]
ipv6-address - A full IPv6 address including the network prefix and
host address bits.
prefix-length - A decimal value indicating how many contiguous bits
(from the left) of the address comprise the prefix (i.e., the network
portion of the address).

◆
All IPv6 addresses must be according to RFC 2373 “IPv6 Addressing
Architecture,” using 8 colon-separated 16-bit hexadecimal values. One
double colon may be used in the address to indicate the appropriate
number of zeros required to fill the undefined fields.
◆
To connect to a larger network with multiple subnets, you must
configure a global unicast address. This address can be manually
configured with this command.
◆
If a link-local address has not yet been assigned to this interface, this
command will assign the specified static global unicast address and also
dynamically generate a link-local unicast address for the interface. (The
