Configuring basic IPv6 functions
Enabling IPv6
Enable IPv6 before you perform any IPv6-related configuration. Without IPv6 enabled, an interface
cannot forward IPv6 packets even if it has an IPv6 address configured.
To enable IPv6:

Configuring IPv6 global unicast addresses
IPv6 global unicast addresses can be configured in the following ways:
•
Automatic configuration—When the EUI-64 format is used, the IPv6 address prefix of an interface

•
Manual configuration—The IPv6 global unicast address is configured manually.
When you configure IPv6 global unicast addresses, follow these guidelines:
