IPv6 Link-local Addresses
The switch’s implementation of IPv6 supports IPv6 link-local addresses without global
addresses for communications within the local subnetwork. Switches do not forward
packets to link-local addresses. To enable IPv6 link-local addresses, use the
automatically configures an IPv6 link-local address
on the interface and enables IPv6 processing on the interface.
Note that link-local addresses are retained in the system until they are negated by using
the no variant of the command that established them. See the
glossary entry, and the
command for more information. Also note that the
link-local address is retained in the system if the global address is removed using another
command, which was not used to establish the link-local address. For example, if a link
local address is established with the
command then it will not be removed
using a
no ipv6 address
command.
