You can configure multiple IPv6 addresses. Each address should have a different
prefix so that the switch can be managed from stations on different subnets. When
a route to one subnet fails, the switch can be managed from another subnet.
To add a static IPv6 address:
STEP 1
Click
Add
.
STEP 2
Enter an IPv6 address followed by a slash (/) and the prefix length.
STEP 3
Select
EUI-64
if the address conforms to the EUI-64 format, whereby the first
three to five octets are the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) and the
remaining octets are a unique assigned address.
STEP 4
Click
Apply
. Your changes are saved to the Running Configuration.
IPv6 Default Router Table
When IPv6 management is enabled, the switch uses the IPv6 neighbor discovery
process to identify the default router for communicating with devices outside the
local IPv6 subnet. The default router in IPv6 networks is similar in function to the
default router in IPv4 networks.
The IPv6 Default Router table lists the default router IP address for each IPv6
management address. A default router address consists of the link-local address
of the IPv6 interface on the subnet.
Viewing and Adding IPv6 Neighbors
When IPv6 management is enabled, the switch identifies IPv6-enabled devices on
attached links. The switch supports the discovery of up to 1,000 dynamic IPv6
neighbors and supports the static configuration of IPv6 neighbors.
The
IPv6 Neighbors
page lists dynamically discovered and statically configured
neighbors, and enables adding static hosts.
To view the IPv6 neighbor Table, click
Administration
>
Management Interface
>
IPv6 Neighbors
in the navigation window.
The IPv6 Neighbor Table displays the following fields for each dynamic entry:
•
IPv6 Address
—IPv6 address of neighbor.
•
MAC Address
—MAC address of the neighbor.
