Setting the Switch’s IP Address
(IP Version 6)
This section describes how to configure an initial IPv6 interface for
management access over the network. This switch supports both IPv4 and
IPv6, and can be managed through either of these address types. For
information on configuring the switch with an IPv4 address, see “Setting
the Switch’s IP Address (IP Version 4)” on page 4-8.
Configuring an IPv6 Address
IPv6 includes two distinct address types – link-local unicast and global
unicast. A link-local address makes the switch accessible over IPv6 for all
devices attached to the same local subnet. Management traffic using this
kind of address cannot be passed by any router outside of the subnet. A
link-local address is easy to set up, and may be useful for simple networks
or basic troubleshooting tasks. However, to connect to a larger network
with multiple segments, the switch must be configured with a global
unicast address. Both link-local and global unicast address types can either
be manually configured or dynamically assigned.
Command Usage
• This section describes how to configure a single local interface for initial
access to the stack. To configure multiple IP interfaces on this stack, you
must set up an IP interface for each VLAN (page 17-5).
• To enable routing between the different interfaces on this stack, you
must enable IP routing (page 17-5).
• To enable routing between the interfaces defined on this stack and
external network interfaces, you must configure static routes (page
17-26) or use dynamic routing; i.e., RIP (page 17-30).
• The precedence for configuring IP interfaces is the IP / General /
Routing Interface menu (page 17-7), static routes (page 17-26), and then
dynamic routing.
