Manually assign an

ipv6-address/prefix-length }
Configure an IPv6

address or
site-local address
Adopt the EUI-64
format to form an

By default, no
site-local address
or global unicast
address is
configured for an
interface.
Note that the prefix
specified by the
prefix-length
argument in an
EUI-64 address
cannot exceed 64
bits in length.
Automatically

Manually assign a

ipv6 address ipv6-address

Optional
By default, after an
IPv6 site-local
address or global
unicast address is
configured for an
interface, a
link-local address
will be generated
automatically.
z If IRF fabric ports are configured on an H3C S3600 switch, no IPv6 address can be configured for
the switch.
z IPv6 unicast addresses can be configured for only one VLAN interface on an H3C S3600 Ethernet
switch. The total number of global unicast addresses and site-local addresses on the VLAN
interface can be up to four.
z After an IPv6 site-local address or global unicast address is configured for an interface, a link-local
address will be generated automatically. The automatically generated link-local address is the
same as the one generated by using the ipv6 address auto link-local command.
z The manual assignment takes precedence over the automatic generation. That is, if you first adopt
the automatic generation and then the manual assignment, the manually assigned link-local
address will overwrite the automatically generated one. If you first adopt the manual assignment
and then the automatic generation, the automatically generated link-local address will not take
effect and the link-local address of an interface is still the manually assigned one. If the manually
assigned link-local address is deleted, the automatically generated link-local address takes effect.
z You must have carried out the ipv6 address auto link-local command before you carry out the
undo ipv6 address auto link-local command. However, if an IPv6 site-local address or global
unicast address is already configured for an interface, the interface still has a link-local address
because the system automatically generates one for the interface. If no IPv6 site-local address or
global unicast address is configured, the interface has no link-local address.
