Configuring an IPv6 host address for a BigIron RX running a switch image
44
Syntax: web access-group ipv6 <ipv6 ACL name>
where <ipv6 ACL name> is a valid IPv6 ACL.
Restricting web management access to an IPv6 host
You can restrict Web management access to the device to the IPv6 host whose IP address you
specify. No other device except the one with the specified IPv6 address can access the Brocade
device’s Web management interface. For example.
BigIron RX(config)# ipv6 address 20:20::20:20/32 anycast
Syntax: web 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.
Configuring an IPv6 Syslog server
To specify an IPv6 Syslog server, enter a command such as the following.
BigIron RX(config)# ipv6 address 20:20::20:20/32 anycast
Syntax: log host ipv6 <ipv6-address> [<udp-port-num>]
The <ipv6-address> you specify must be in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as
documented in RFC 2373.
The <udp-port-num> optional parameter specifies the UDP application port used for the Syslog
facility.
Configuring an IPv6 host address for a BigIron RX
running a switch image
NOTE
This feature is only available on the BigIron RX when it is configured as a switch. For this feature to
work it must have the CHD code enabled on the BigIron RX.
In the router configuration, each port can be configured separately with an IPv6 address. This is
accomplished using the interface configuration process that is described in
When a BigIron RX is running a switch-only image of the code, individual ports cannot be
configured with an IP address (IPv4 or IPv6). In this situation the device has one IP address for the
management port, and one IP address for the system. This has previously been supported for IPv4
but not IPv6.
There is support for configuring an IPv6 address on the management port as described in
“Configuring the management port for an IPv6 automatic address configuration”
and for configuring a system-wide IPv6 address on the BigIron RX in switch mode. Configuration of
the system-wide IPv6 address is exactly like configuration of an IPv6 address in router mode except
that all of the IPv6 configuration is at the Global Config level instead of at the Interface Config level.
