Completing Interface Configuration in Transparent Mode
Configuring a Global IPv6 Address and Other Options
To configure a global IPv6 address and other options for a bridge group or management interface,
perform the following steps.
Note Configuring the global address automatically configures the link-local address, so you do not need to
configure it separately.
Restrictions
The ASA does not support IPv6 anycast addresses.
Prerequisites
• Set up your interfaces depending on your model:
–
ASA 5510 and higher—Chapter 6, “Starting Interface Configuration (ASA 5510 and Higher).”
–
ASA 5505—Chapter 7, “Starting Interface Configuration (ASA 5505).”
• In multiple context mode, you can only configure context interfaces that you already assigned to the
context in the system configuration according to the “Configuring Multiple Contexts” section on
page 5-14.
• In multiple context mode, complete this procedure in the context execution space. To change from
the system to a context configuration, enter the changeto context name command.
Detailed Steps
Command Purpose
Step 1
For the bridge group:
interface bvi bridge_group_id
For the management interface:
interface management_interface_id
Example:
hostname(config)# interface bvi 1
If you are not already in interface configuration mode, enters
interface configuration mode.
Step 2
ipv6 address ipv6-address/prefix-length
[standby ipv6-address]
Example:
hostname(config-if)# ipv6 address
2001:0DB8::BA98:0:3210/48
Assigns a global address to the interface. When you assign a
global address, the link-local address is automatically created for
the interface (for a bridge group, for each member interface).
standby specifies the interface address used by the secondary unit
or failover group in a failover pair.
Note The eui-64 keyword to use the Modified EUI-64 interface
ID for the interface ID is not supported in transparent
mode.
See the “IPv6 Addresses” section on page B-5 for more
information about IPv6 addressing.
