Chapter 39 Configuring IPv6 Unicast Routing
Configuring IPv6
without arguments. To disable IPv6 processing on an interface that has not been explicitly configured
with an IPv6 address, use the no ipv6 enable interface configuration command. To globally disable IPv6
routing, use the no ipv6 unicast-routing global configuration command.
This example shows how to enable IPv6 with both a link-local address and a global address based on the
IPv6 prefix 2001:0DB8:c18:1::/64. The EUI-64 interface ID is used in the low-order 64 bits of both
addresses. Output from the show ipv6 interface EXEC command is included to show how the interface
ID (20B:46FF:FE2F:D940) is appended to the link-local prefix FE80::/64 of the interface.

MTU is 1500 bytes
ICMP error messages limited to one every 100 milliseconds
ICMP redirects are enabled
ND DAD is enabled, number of DAD attempts: 1
ND reachable time is 30000 milliseconds
ND advertised reachable time is 0 milliseconds
ND advertised retransmit interval is 0 milliseconds
ND router advertisements are sent every 200 seconds
ND router advertisements live for 1800 seconds
Hosts use stateless autoconfig for addresses.
Configuring IPv4 and IPv6 Protocol Stacks
When you configure an interface with both an IPv4 and IPv6 address, the interface forwards both IPv4
and IPv6 traffic and can send and receive data on both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
Note
Before configuring IPv6 routing, you must select an SDM template that supports IPv4 and IPv6. If not
already configured, use the sdm prefer dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 {default | routing | vlan} global
configuration command to configure a template that supports IPv6. When you select a new template, you
must reload the switch by using the reload privileged EXEC command for the template to take effect.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a Layer 3 interface to support both
the IPv4 and IPv6 and enable IPv6 routing.
