The
no ipv6 address autoconfig
command disables IPv6 global address
autoconfiguration,
and sets the interface to Router mode
with IPv6 forwarding enabled.
DHCP-assigned addresses
As an alternative to stateless
autoconfiguration,
you can enable a network host to obtain IPv6 addresses using a DHCP server via stateful
autoconfiguration
using the
ipv6 address dhcp
command. A DHCPv6 server uses a
prefix
pool to
configure
a network address on an
interface. The interface ID is automatically generated.
Manally
configured
addresses
An interface can have multiple IPv6 addresses. To
configure
an IPv6 address in addition to the link-local address, use the
ipv6 address
ipv6-address/mask
command. Enter the full 128-bit IPv6 address, including the network
prefix
and a 64-bit interface ID.
You can also manually
configure
an IPv6 address by assigning:
A network
prefix
with the EUI-64 parameter using the
ipv6 address
ipv6-prefix
eui64
command. A 64-bit interface ID is
automatically generated based on the MAC address.
A link-local address to use instead of the link-local address that is automatically
configured
when you enable IPv6 using the
ipv6
address link-local
command.
Configure
IPv6 address
OS10(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/8
OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/8)# ipv6 address 2001:dddd:0eee::4/64
Configure
network
prefix
OS10(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/8
OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/8)# ipv6 address 2001:FF21:1:1::/64 eui64
Configure
link-local address
OS10(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/8
OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/8)# ipv6 address FE80::1/64 link-local
Stateless
autoconfiguration
When an interface comes up, OS10 uses stateless
autoconfiguration
to generate a unique link-local IPv6 address with a FE80::/64
prefix
and an interface ID generated from the MAC address. To use stateless
autoconfiguration
to assign a globally unique address using a
prefix
received in router advertisements, enter the
ipv6 address autoconfig
command.
Stateless
autoconfiguration
sets an interface in host mode, and allows the interface connected to an IPv6 network to
autoconfigure
IPv6
addresses and communicate with other IPv6 devices on local links. A DHCP server is not required for automatic IPv6 interface
configuration.
IPv6 devices on a local link send router advertisement (RA) messages in response to solicitation messages received at
startup.
Stateless
autoconfiguration
of IPv6 addresses is performed using:
Prefix
advertisement
Routers use router advertisement messages to advertise the network
prefix.
Hosts append their
interface-identifier
MAC address to generate a valid IPv6 address.
Duplicate address
detection
An IPv6 host node checks whether that address is used anywhere on the network using this mechanism before
configuring
its IPv6 address.
Prefix
renumbering
Transparent renumbering of hosts in the network when an organization changes its service provider.
IPv6 provides the
flexibility
to add
prefixes
on router advertisements in response to a router solicitation (RS). By default, RA response
messages are sent when an RS message is received. The system manipulation of IPv6 stateless
autoconfiguration
supports the router side
