Note: The prefix 2001:DB8::/32 is reserved for documentation
As described in RFC3849, the IPv6 prefix 2001:DB8::/32 is specifically reserved for
documentation purposes. All IPv6 examples in this manual therefore use this network or
addresses from it.
IPv6 Must be Enabled Globally and on Each Interface
IPv6 must be explicitly enabled in cOS Core for it to function. This is done in the two ways:
A. Enable IPv6 globally.
B. Enable IPv6 on an Ethernet interface.
These are described next.
A. Enable IPv6 Globally
There is a global advanced setting that enables IPv6 and if it is not enabled, all IPv6 traffic is
ignored. By default, this setting is disabled.
Example 3.7. Enabling IPv6 Globally
This example enables all IPv6 features across the whole of cOS Core. If an IPv6 feature is used and
this setting is not enabled, a warning will be generated when the configuration is activated.
