Quick Steps for Configuring IPv6 Routing
The following tutorial assumes that VLAN 200 and VLAN 300 already exist in the switch configuration.
For information about how to configure VLANs, see Chapter 4, “Configuring VLANs.”
1 Configure an IPv6 interface for VLAN 200 using the ipv6 interface command. For example:
-> ipv6 interface v6if-v200 vlan 200
Note that when the IPv6 interface is configured, the switch automatically generates a link-local address
for the interface. This allows for communication with other interfaces and/or devices on the same link,
but does not provide routing between interfaces.
2 Assign a unicast address to the v6if-v200 interface using the ipv6 address command. For example:
-> ipv6 address 4100:1::/64 eui-64 v6if-v200
3 Configure an IPv6 interface for VLAN 300 using the ipv6 interface command. For example:
-> ipv6 interface v6if-v300 vlan 300
4 Assign a unicast address to the v6if-v300 interface using the ipv6 address command. For example:
-> ipv6 address 4100:2::/64 eui-64 v6if-v300
Note. Optional. To verify the IPv6 interface configuration, enter show ipv6 interface For example:
-> show ipv6 interface
Name IPv6 Address/Prefix Length Status Device
--------------------+------------------------------------------+-------+-----------
v6if-v200 fe80::2d0:95ff:fe12:fab5/64 Down VLAN 200
4100:1::2d0:95ff:fe12:fab5/64
4100:1::/64
v6if-v300 fe80::2d0:95ff:fe12:fab6/64 Down VLAN 300
4100:2::2d0:95ff:fe12:fab6/64
4100:2::/64
loopback ::1/128 Active Loopback
fe80::1/64
Note that the link-local addresses for the two new interfaces and the loopback interface were automati-
cally created and included in the show ipv6 interface display output. In addition, the subnet router anycast
address that corresponds to the unicast address is also automatically generated for the interface.
5 Enable RIPng for the switch using the ipv6 load rip command. For example:
-> ipv6 load rip
6 Create a RIPng interface for each of the IPv6 VLAN interfaces using the ipv6 rip interface command.
For example:
-> ipv6 rip interface v6if-v200
-> ipv6 rip interface v6if-v300
IPv6 routing is now configured for VLAN 200 and VLAN 300 interfaces, but is not active until at least
one port in each VLAN goes active.
