3. Type “exit” to return to the global configuration mode prompt. Press <Enter>.
4. To set the IP address of the default gateway for the network to which the switch
belongs, type “ip default-gateway gateway,” where “gateway” is the IP address
of the default gateway. Press <Enter>.
Assigning an IPv6 Address
There are several ways to manually configure IPv6 addresses. This section
describes how to configure a “link local” address for connectivity within the local
subnet only, and another option that allows you to specify a “global unicast” address
by first configuring a network prefix for use on a multi-segment network, and then
configuring the host address portion of the address.
An IPv6 prefix or address must be formatted according to RFC 2373 “IPv6
Addressing Architecture,” using 8 colon-separated 16-bit hexadecimal values. One
double colon may be used to indicate the appropriate number of zeros required to fill
the undefined fields. For detailed information on the other ways to assign IPv6
addresses, see “Setting the Switch’s IP Address (IP Version 6)” on page 5-4.
Link Local Address — All link-local addresses must be configured with a prefix of
FE80. Remember that this address type makes the switch accessible over IPv6 for
all devices attached to the same local subnet only. Also, if the switch detects that the
address you configured conflicts with that in use by another device on the subnet, it
will stop using the address in question, and automatically generate a link local
address that does not conflict with any other devices on the local subnet.
