◆
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, or it can be automatically configured
using the ip ipv6 autoconfig command ( page 218 ).
◆
When configuring a link-local address, the prefix length is fixed at 64
bits, and the host portion of the default address is based on the
modified EUI-64 (Extended Universal Identifier) form of the interface
identifier (i.e., the physical MAC address). You can manually configure a
link-local address by entering the full address with the network prefix
FE80.
◆
An IPv6 default gateway must be defined if the management station is
located in a different IPv6 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 switch.
E
XAMPLE
This example specifies the IPv6 address, the prefix length, the IPv6
gateway, and the VLAN to which the address is assigned.

network.

ip ipv6 ping6 ipv6-addr [ packet-size ]
ipv6-addr - IP address of the host. An IPv6 address must be
formatted 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.
packet-size - The payload size of the ICMP packet. (Range: 8-1400
bytes) The actual packet size excludes MAC, IP and ICMP headers.
