IPv6 Support
Overview
Overview
This Appendix provides methods for demonstrating IPv6 functionality on Broadmore.
You can find more test methods in the Product Application Notice: Broadmore IPv6
(PAN-07-0001), which is available on the Customer Support website.
Configuring IPv6 Addresses for Network Interfaces
When the system boots up, an IPv6 address of link-local scope is configured on all the
network interfaces. This section provides steps to configure a network interface.
Adding an IPv6 Address
To set the IPv6 address on the Ethernet interface, from the Broadmore shell issue the
command ifconf6 with the argument -a. For example:
Broadmore-> ifconf6 1 -a 3ffe:0:0:13::5
The above command sets the IPv6 address 3ffe:0:0:13::5 on the Ethernet
interface 1.
Displaying an Address
Check the interface configuration.
