Chapter 14: IPv4 and IPv6 Management Address Commands
280
IPV6 ADDRESS
Syntax
ipv6 address
ipaddress/mask
Parameters
ipaddress
Specifies an IPv6 management address for the switch. The
address is entered in this format:
nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn
Where N is a hexadecimal digit from 0 to F. The eight groups of
digits have to be separated by colons. Groups where all four digits
are ‘0’ can be omitted. Leading ‘0’s in groups can also be omitted.
For example, the following IPv6 addresses are equivalent:
12c4:421e:09a8:0000:0000:0000:00a4:1c50
12c4:421e:9a8::a4:1c50
mask
Specifies the subnet mask of the address. The mask is a decimal
number that represents the number of bits, from left to right, that
constitute the network portion of the address. For example, an
address whose network designator consists of the first eight bytes
would need a mask of 64 bits.
Mode
VLAN Interface mode
Description
Use this command to manually assign the switch an IPv6 management
address. You must perform this command from the VLAN Interface mode
of the VLAN to which to the address is to be assigned.
Note
An IPv6 management address must be assigned manually. The
switch cannot obtain an IPv6 address from a DHCP server.
The switch must have a management address to support the features
listed in Table 26 on page 258. The switch can have only one IPv6
address, and it must be assigned to the VLAN from which the switch is to
communicate with the management devices (such as Telnet workstations
