IPv6 Addressing Configuration
Introduction
Introduction
In the default configuration, IPv6 operation is disabled on the switch. This
section describes the general steps and individual commands for enabling
IPv6 operation.
This chapter provides the following:
■ general steps for IPv6 configuration
■ IPv6 command syntax descriptions, including show commands
Most IPv6 configuration commands are applied per-VLAN. The exceptions are
ICMP, ND (neighbor discovery), and the (optional) authorized-managers
feature, which are configured at the global configuration level. (ICMP and ND
for IPv6 are enabled with default values when IPv6 is first enabled, and can
either be left in their default settings or reconfigured, as needed.) For more
informaton on ICMP, refer to “ICMP Rate-Limiting” on page 8-2. For more on
ND, refer to “Neighbor Discovery (ND) in IPv6” on page 2-9.
For a quick reference to all IPv6 commands available on the switch, refer to
the “IPv6 Command Index” on page xi at the front of this guide.
Note Beginning with software release K.13.01, the switch is capable of operating in
dual-stack mode, where IPv4 and IPv6 run concurrently on a given VLAN.
