Chapter 10 Configuring IPv6 Configuring IPv6 on an Interface To configure IPv6 on an interface, perform the following steps: Step 1 Step 2 Enter interface configuration mode for the interface for which you are configuring the IPv6 addresses: hostname(config)# interface interface_name Configure an IPv6 address for the interface. You can assign several IPv6 addresses to an interface, such as an IPv6 link-local, site-local, and global address. However, at a minimum, you must configure a link-local address. There are several methods for configuring IPv6 addresses for an interface. Pick the method that suits your needs from the following: • The simplest method is to enable stateless autoconfiguration on the interface. Enabling stateless autoconfiguration on the interface configures IPv6 addresses based on prefixes received in Router Advertisement messages. A link-local address, based on the Modified EUI-64 interface ID, is automatically generated for the interface when stateless autoconfiguration is enabled. To enable stateless autoconfiguration, enter the following command: hostname(config-if)# ipv6 address autoconfig • If you only need to configure a link-local address on the interface and are not going to assign any other IPv6 addresses to the interface, you have the option of manually defining the link-local address or generating one based on the interface MAC address (Modified EUI-64 format). Enter the following command to manually specify the link-local address: hostname(config-if)# ipv6 address ipv6-address link-local Enter the following command to enable IPv6 on the interface and automatically generate the link-local address using the Modified EUI-64 interface ID based on the interface MAC address: hostname(config-if)# ipv6 enable Note You do not need to use the ipv6 enable command if you enter any other ipv6 address commands on an interface; IPv6 support is automatically enabled as soon as you assign an IPv6 address to the interface. Step 3 • Assign a site-local or global address to the interface. When you assign a site-local or global address, a link-local address is automatically created. Enter the following command to add a global or site-local address to the interface. Use the optional eui-64 keyword to use the Modified EUI-64 interface ID in the low order 64 bits of the address. hostname(config-if)# ipv6 address ipv6-address [eui-64] (Optional) Suppress Router Advertisement messages on an interface. By default, Router Advertisement messages are automatically sent in response to router solicitation messages. You may want to disable these messages on any interface for which you do not want FWSM to supply the IPv6 prefix (for example, the outside interface). Enter the following command to suppress Router Advertisement messages on an interface: hostname(config-if)# ipv6 nd suppress-ra See the "Example 4: IPv6 Configuration Example" section on page B-13 for an example of IPv6 addresses applied to an interface.
