1The following IPv6 features, listed in IPv6 Configuration on FastIron X Series, FCX, and ICX Series
Switches on page 163, are documented in the FastIron Ethernet Switch Security Configuration Guide :
• IPv6 access list
• IPv6 copy - "Using the IPv6 copy command"
• IPv6 ncopy - "IPv6 ncopy command"
• RADIUS
• TFTP - "Loading and saving configuration files with IPv6"
• IPv6 routing protocols - Various chapters
Full Layer 3 IPv6 feature support
The following IPv6 Layer 3 features are supported only with the IPv6 Layer 3 PROM, Software-based
Licensing, IPv6-series hardware, and the full Layer 3 image:
• OSPF V3
• RIPng
• IPv6 ICMP redirect messages
• IPv6 route redistribution
• IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels in hardware
• IPv6 Layer 3 forwarding
• BGP4+
• IPv6 Multicast routing
• DHCPv6 Relay Agent
NOTE
IPv6 static routes and IPv6 unicast routing (multicast routing is not supported) are not supported in the
base Layer 3 software images.
IPv6 addressing overview
IPv6 was designed to replace IPv4, the Internet protocol that is most commonly used currently
throughout the world. IPv6 increases the number of network address bits from 32 (IPv4) to 128 bits,
which provides more than enough unique IP addresses to support all of the network devices on the
planet into the future. IPv6 is expected to quickly become the network standard.
An IPv6 address is composed of 8 fields of 16-bit hexadecimal values separated by colons (:). The
following figure shows the IPv6 address format.
