Configuring Basic IPv6 Connectivity
This chapter explains how to get a Brocade Layer 3 Switch that supports IPv6 up and running. To
configure basic IPv6 connectivity, you must do the following:
•
Enable IPv6 routing globally on the Brocade Layer 3 Switch.
•
Configure an IPv6 address or explicitly enable IPv6 on each router interface over which you
plan to forward IPv6 traffic.
•
Configure IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks. (This step is mandatory only if you want a router
interface to send and receive both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.)
The following configuration tasks are optional:
•
Configure IPv6 Domain Name Server (DNS) resolver
•
Configure ECMP Load Sharing for IPv6
•
Configure IPv6 ICMP.
•
Configure the IPv6 neighbor discovery feature.
•
Change the IPv6 MTU.
•
Configure an unnumbered interface.
•
Configure static neighbor entries.
•
Limit the hop count of an IPv6 packet.
•
Configure Quality of Service (QoS) for IPv6 traffic
Enabling IPv6 routing
By default, IPv6 routing is disabled. To enable the forwarding of IPv6 traffic globally on the router,
enter the following command.
BigIron RX(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
Syntax: [no] ipv6 unicast-routing
To disable the forwarding of IPv6 traffic globally on the Brocade device, enter the no form of this
command.
Configuring IPv6 on each router interface
To forward IPv6 traffic on a router interface, the interface must have an IPv6 address, or IPv6 must
be explicitly enabled. By default, an IPv6 address is not configured on a router interface.
If you choose to configure a global or site-local IPv6 address for an interface, IPv6 is also enabled
on the interface. Further, when you configure a global or site-local IPv6 address, you must decide
on one of the following in the low-order 64 bits:
•
A manually configured interface ID.
