Configuring the management port for an IPv6 automatic address configuration

Configuring the management port for an IPv6 automatic
address configuration
You can have the management port configured to automatically obtain an IPv6 address. This
process is the same for any other port and is described in detail in the
“Configuring a global or
site-local IPv6 address with an automatically computed EUI-64 interface ID” on page 1171
IPv6 host support
You can configure the device to be an IPv6 host. An IPv6 host has IPv6 addresses on its interfaces,
but does not have IPv6 routing enabled on it. This feature support is available on devices running
the Layer 2, base Layer 3, or full Layer 3 software image.
This section lists the supported and unsupported IPv6 host features
Restricting SNMP access to an IPv6 node
You can restrict SNMP access (which includes Brocade Network Advisor) to the device to the IPv6
host whose IP address you specify. To do so, enter a command such as the following:
BigIron RX(config)# snmp-client ipv6 2001:efff:89::23
Syntax: snmp-client ipv6 <ipv6-address>
The <ipv6-address> you specify must be in hexadecimal format using 16-bit values between colons
as documented in RFC 2373.
Specifying an IPv6 SNMP trap receiver
You can specify an IPv6 host as a trap receiver to ensure that all SNMP traps sent by the device will
go to the same SNMP trap receiver or set of receivers, typically one or more host devices on the
network. To do so, enter a command such as the following.
BigIron RX(config)# snmp-server host ipv6 2001:efff:89::13
Syntax: snmp-server host ipv6 <ipv6-address>
The <ipv6-address> you specify must be in hexadecimal format using 16-bit values between colons
as documented in RFC 2373.
Restricting web management access to an IPv6 host by
specifying an IPv6 ACL
You can specify an IPv6 ACL that restricts Web management access to management functions on
the device. For example.
BigIron RX(config)# access-list 12 deny host 2000:2383:e0bb::2/128 log
BigIron RX(config)# access-list 12 deny 30ff:3782::ff89/128 log
BigIron RX(config)# access-list 12 deny 3000:4828::fe19/128 log
BigIron RX(config)# access-list 12 permit any
BigIron RX(config)# web access-group ipv6 sandy
