Configuring IPv6 on each interface
•
Solicited-node multicast group FF02:0:0:0:0:1:FF00::/104 for each unicast address assigned
to the interface.
•
All-nodes link-local multicast group FF02::1
•
All-routers link-local multicast group FF02::2
The neighbor discovery feature sends messages to these multicast groups. For more information,
refer to
“Configuring IPv6 neighbor discovery”
Configuring a global or unique loal IPv6 unicast address with a manually
configured interface ID
To configure a global or unique local IPv6 unicast address, including a manually configured
interface ID, for an interface, enter commands such as the following.
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 3/1
Brocade(config-if-e100-3/1)# ipv6 address 2001:DB8:12D:1300:240:D0FF:
FE48:4672/64
These commands configure the global prefix 2001:DB8:12d:1300::/64 and the interface
ID::240:D0FF:FE48:4672, and enable IPv6 on Ethernet interface 3/1.
Syntax: ipv6 address ipv6-prefix/prefix-length
You must specify the ipv6-prefix parameter in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as
documented in RFC 2373.
You must specify the prefix-length parameter as a decimal value. A slash mark (/) must follow the
ipv6-prefix parameter and precede the prefix-length parameter.
Configuring a global or unique local IPv6 unicast address with an automatically
computed EUI-64 interface ID
To configure a global or unique local IPv6 unicast address with an automatically computed EUI-64
interface ID in the low-order 64-bits, enter commands such as the following.
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 3/1
Brocade(config-if-e100-3/1)# ipv6 address 2001:DB8:12D:1300::/64 eui-64
These commands configure the global prefix 2001:DB8:12d:1300::/64 and an interface ID, and
enable IPv6 on Ethernet interface 3/1.
Syntax: [no] ipv6 address ipv6-prefix/prefix-length eui-64
You must specify the ipv6-prefix parameter in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as
documented in RFC 2373.
You must specify the prefix-length parameter as a decimal value. A slash mark (/) must follow the
ipv6-prefix parameter and precede the prefix-length parameter.
The eui-64 keyword configures the global or unique local unicast address with an EUI-64 interface
ID in the low-order 64 bits.The interface ID is automatically constructed in IEEE EUI-64 format using
the interface’s MAC address.
