set ipv6 address
SecureStack C3 Configuration Guide 21-3
set ipv6 address
Use this command to configure IPv6 global addressing information.
Syntax
set ipv6 address ipv6-addr / prefix-length [ eui64 ]
Parameters
Defaults
No global unicast IPv6 address is defined by default.
Mode
Switch mode, read ‐ write.
Usage
Use this command to manually configure a global unicast IPv6 address for IPv6 management. You
can specify the address completely, or you can use the optional eui64 parameter to allow the
switch to generate the lower order 64 bits of the address.
When using the eui64 parameter, you specify only the network prefix and length.
Examples
This example shows how to completely specify an IPv6 address by entering all 128 bits and the
prefix:
C3(su)->set ipv6 address 2001:0db8:1234:5555::9876:2/64
C3(su)->show ipv6 address
Name IPv6 Address
------------ ----------------------------------------
host FE80::201:F4FF:FE5C:2880/64
host 2001:DB8:1234:5555::9876:2/64
This example shows how to use the eui64 parameter to configure the lower order 64 bits:
C3(su)->set ipv6 address 2001:0db8:1234:5555::/64 eui64
C3(su)->show ipv6 address
Name IPv6 Address
------------ ----------------------------------------
host FE80::201:F4FF:FE5C:2880/64
host 2001:DB8:1234:5555:201:F4FF:FE5C:2880/64
ipv6 ‐ addr The IPv6 address or prefix to be configured. This parameter must be in the
form documented in RFC 4291, with the address specified in hexadecimal
using 16 ‐ bit values between colons.
prefix ‐ length The length of the IPv6 prefix for this address. The value of prefix ‐ length is a
decimal number indicating the number of high ‐ order contiguous bits of the
address that comprise the network portion of the address.
eui64 (Optional) Formulate the IPv6 address using an EUI ‐ 64 ID in the lower
order 64 bits of the address.
