IPv6 Addressing Configuration Configuring a Static IPv6 Address on a VLAN Statically Configuring A Global Unicast Address Syntax:. [no] ipv6 address < network-prefix>/< prefix-length > [no] ipv6 address < network-prefix>::/< prefix-length > eui-64 If IPv6 is not already enabled on a VLAN, either of these command options do the following: ■ enable IPv6 on the VLAN ■ configure a link-local address using the EUI-64 format ■ statically configure a global unicast address If IPv6 is already enabled on the VLAN, then the above commands statically configure a global unicast address, but have no effect on the current link-local address. < network-prefix >: This includes the global routing prefix and the subnet ID for the address. For more on this topic, refer to "Prefixes in Routable IPv6 Addresses" on page 3-18. < device-id >: Enters a user-defined device identity. < prefix-length >: Specifies the number of bits in the network prefix. If you are using the eui-64 option, this value must be 64. eui-64: Specifies using the Extended Unique Identifier format to create a device identifier based on the VLAN MAC address. Refer to "Extended Unique Identifier (EUI)" on page 3-14. After verification of uniqueness by DAD, the lifetime of a statically configured IPv6 address assigned to a VLAN is set to permanent, and is configured as a preferred address. (Refer to "IPv6 Address Deprecation" on page 3-25.) The no form of the command erases the specified address and, if no other IPv6-enabling command is configured on the VLAN, disables IPv6 on the VLAN. (Refer to "Disabling IPv6 on a VLAN" on page 4-16.) To view the currently configured static IPv6 addresses per-VLAN, use show run. To view all currently configured IPv6 unicast addresses, use the following: ■ show ipv6 (Lists IPv6 addresses for all VLANs configured on the switch.) ■ show ipv6 vlan < vid > (Lists IPv6 addresses configured on VLAN < vid >.) For more information, refer to "View the Current IPv6 Addressing Configura tion" on page 4-22. 4-13
