IPv6 Addressing Configuration
Enabling DHCPv6
To view all currently configured IPv6 unicast addresses, use the following:
■
show ipv6
(Lists IPv6 addresses for all VLANs configured on the switch.)
■
show ipv6 vlan < vid > (Lists IPv6 addresses configured on the VLAN.)
For more information, refer to “View the Current IPv6 Addressing Configura-
tion” on page 1-17.
Operating Notes
■ If multiple DHCPv6 servers are available, the switch selects a server based
on the preference value sent in DHCPv6 messages from the servers.
■
The switch supports both DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 client operation on the
same VLAN.
■ DHCPv6 authentication and stateless DHCPv6 are not supported.
■
With IPv6 enabled, the switch determines the default IPv6 router for the
VLAN from the router advertisements it receives. (Refer to “Default IPv6
Router” on page 1-24.)
■ DHCPv6 and statically configured global unicast addresses are mutually
exclusive on a given VLAN. That is, configuring DHCPv6 on a VLAN erases
any static global unicast addresses previously configured on that VLAN,
and the reverse. (A statically configured link-local address will not be
affected by configuring DHCPv6 on the VLAN.)
■
For the same subnet on the switch, a DHCPv6 global unicast address
assignment takes precedence over an autoconfigured address assign-
ment, regardless of which address type was the first to be configured. If
DHCPv6 is subsequently removed from the configuration, then an auto-
configured address assignment will replace it after the next router adver-
tisement is received on the VLAN. DHCPv6 and autoconfigured addresses
co-exist on the same VLAN if they belong to different subnets.
