Basic IPv6 Connectivity
This chapter explains how to get a Brocade device up and running with IPv6. To configure basic
IPv6 connectivity, you must do the following:
• Enable IPv6 routing globally.
• Configure an IPv6 address or explicitly enable IPv6 on each Brocade device interface over
which you plan to forward IPv6 traffic.
• Configure IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks. (This step is mandatory only if you want a Brocade
device interface to send and receive both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.)
The following configuration tasks are optional:
