IPv6 host address on a Layer 2 switch

IPv6 host address on a Layer 2 switch
In a Layer 3 (router) configuration, each port can be configured separately with an IPv6 address.
This is accomplished using the interface configuration process that is described in
configuration on each router interface”
In a Layer 2 (switch) configuration, individual ports cannot be configured with an IP address (IPv4
or IPv6). In this situation, the switch has one IP address for the management port and one IP
address for the system. This has previously been supported for IPv4 but not for 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”
on page 108, and
for configuring a system-wide IPv6 address on a Layer 2 switch. Configuration of the system-wide
IPv6 address is exactly like configuration of an IPv6 address in router mode, except that the IPv6
configuration is at the Global CONFIG level instead of at the Interface level.
The process for defining the system-wide interface for IPv6 is described in the following sections:
•
“Configuring a global or site-local IPv6 address with a manually configured interface ID”
•
“Configuring a link-local IPv6 address as a system-wide address for a switch”
