Hitachi 3100, Network Administration Manual

For example, the Administrator can set an IPv6 address for ag1 on the file-
serving interfaces. The format is <address>/<prefix length> as shown
below:
This is also the page where an IPv6 address is configured for the Admin
Services Node. This is necessary in order to launch an embedded SMU over
IPv6. It is not possible to configure an IPv6 address on a cluster node.
Using CLI commands with IPv6
Each CLI command that accepts IPv4 addresses also accepts IPv6 addresses,
for example, the
evs
command as shown below:
> evs create -i 2001:db8::/64 -p ag2 -n 1
Some commands, for example
ping
, have an IPv6 variant
ping6
, as shown
below:
> ping6 -c10 2001:db8:220a:480:baac:6fff:fe80:5962
32 bytes from 2001:db8:220a:480:baac:6fff:fe80:5962 icmp_seq=0
time=6 ms
32 bytes from 2001:db8:220a:480:baac:6fff:fe80:5962 icmp_seq=1
time <1 ms
32 bytes from 2001:db8:220a:480:baac:6fff:fe80:5962 icmp_seq=2
time <1 ms
IPv6 and non-file serving interfaces
On the NAS server, an IPv6 address can be configured on the Admin Services
Node - eth0 or eth1. However, on the SMU, IPv6 addresses are only
configurable on eth0 and not on eth1. This is because on an external SMU,
only eth0 is considered to be a public interface. The eth0 interface must
always retain an IPv4 address. The IPv6 configuration is in addition to the
IPv4 configuration.
The Administrator can configure a static IPv6 IP address for an external SMU
as shown in the example below or use the SLAAC option where the address is
generated from router advertisements.
