IPv6 management (IPv6 host support)
5
IPv6 anycast addresses are described in detail in RFC 1884. See RFC 2461 for a description of
how the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery mechanism handles anycast addresses.
IPv6 management (IPv6 host support)
An IPv6 host has IPv6 addresses on its interfaces, but does not have full IPv6 routing enabled on it.
This section describes the following IPv6 host features:
• “Restricting SNMP access to an IPv6 node”
• “Specifying an IPv6 SNMP trap receiver”
• “SNMP V3 over IPv6”
• “SNTP over IPv6”
• “Secure Shell, SCP, and IPv6”
• “IPv6 Telnet”
• “Configuring name-to-IPv6 address resolution using IPv6 DNS resolver”
• “Defining an IPv6 DNS entry”
• “Using the IPv6 copy command”
• “Using the IPv6 ncopy command”
• “IPv6 ping”
• “Configuring an IPv6 Syslog server”
• “Viewing IPv6 SNMP server addresses”
• “IPv6 debug”
• “Disabling IPv6 on a Layer 2 switch”
The following IPv6 host feature is also supported:
• “Configuring a link-local IPv6 address as a system-wide address for a switch”
Restricting SNMP access to an IPv6 node
You can restrict SNMP access (which includes IronView Network Manager) to the device to the IPv6
host whose IP address you specify. To do so, enter a command such as the following.
PowerConnect(config)# snmp-client ipv6 2001:efff:89::23
Syntax: snmp-client ipv6 ipv6-address
• The ipv6-address you specify must be in hexadecimal format using 16-bit values between
colons as documented in RFC 2373.
Specifying an IPv6 SNMP trap receiver
You can specify an IPv6 host as a trap receiver to ensure that all SNMP traps sent by the device will
go to the same SNMP trap receiver or set of receivers, typically one or more host devices on the
network. To do so, enter a command such as the following.
PowerConnect(config)# snmp-server host ipv6 2001:efff:89::13
Syntax: snmp-server host ipv6 ipv6-address
