Chapter 39 Configuring IPv6 Unicast Routing
Configuring IPv6
Configuring IPv6 Addressing and Enabling IPv6 Host Functions or Routing
This section describes how to assign IPv6 addresses to individual Layer 3 interfaces and to globally
forward IPv6 traffic on the switch.
Before configuring IPv6 on the switch, consider these guidelines:
•
Be sure to select a dual IPv4 and IPv6 SDM template.
•
Not all features discussed in this chapter are supported by the switch. See the
and Unicast Routing Features” section on page 39-8
.
•
In the
ipv6 address
interface configuration command, you must enter the
ipv6-address
and
ipv6-prefix
variables with the address specified in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons.
The
prefix-length
variable (preceded by a slash [/]) is a decimal value that shows how many of the
high-order contiguous bits of the address comprise the prefix (the network portion of the address).
To forward IPv6 traffic on an interface, you must configure a global IPv6 address on that interface.
Configuring an IPv6 address on an interface automatically configures a link-local address and activates
IPv6 for the interface. The configured interface automatically joins these required multicast groups for
that link:
•
solicited-node multicast group FF02:0:0:0:0:1:ff00::/104 for each unicast address assigned to the
interface (this address is used in the neighbor discovery process.)
•
all-nodes link-local multicast group FF02::1
•
all-routers link-local multicast group FF02::2
For more information about configuring IPv6 host functions or routing, see the “Implementing
Addressing and Basic Connectivity for IPv6” chapter in the
Cisco IOS IPv6 Configuration Library
on
Cisco.com
.
CEFv6 or dCEFv6
Disabled (IPv4 CEF and dCEF are enabled by default).
Note
When IPv6 routing is enabled, CEFv6 and dCEFv6 are automatically
enabled.
IPv6 addresses
None configured.

This feature is supported only on the Catalyst Switch Module 3110.
