Description

Use this command to assign the switch an IPv6 default gateway address.
A default gateway is an address of an interface on a router or other Layer
3 device. It defines the first hop to reaching the remote subnets or
networks where the network devices are located. You must assign the
switch a default gateway address if both of the following are true:

You assigned the switch an IPv6 management address.

The remote management devices (such as Telnet workstations
and TFTP servers) are not members of the same subnet as the
IPv6 management address.

Review the following guidelines before assigning a default gateway
address:

The switch can have just one IPv6 default gateway.

The IPv6 management address and the default gateway address
must be members of the same subnet.
