15 Configuring IPv6
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the next generation of Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). Both
versions are supported along with the ability to tunnel IPv6 traffic over IPv4. Implementing IPv6 solves
the limited address problem currently facing IPv4, which provides a 32-bit address space. IPv6 increases
the address space available to 128 bits.
Note. On OmniSwitch 6600/7700/7800/8800 series switches, IPv6 is a software-based implementation.
In This Chapter
This chapter describes IPv6 and how to configure it through the Command Line Interface (CLI). CLI
commands are used in the configuration examples; for more details about the syntax of commands, see the
OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
This chapter provides an overview of IPv6 and includes information about the following procedures:
• “Configuring an IPv6 Interface” on page 15-10.
• “Assigning IPv6 Addresses” on page 15-12.
• “Configuring IPv6 Tunnel Interfaces” on page 15-14.
