IPv6 management (IPv6 host support)
5
• The ipv6-address you specify must be in hexadecimal format using 16-bit values between
colons as documented in RFC 2373.
SNMP V3 over IPv6
PowerConnect devices support IPv6 for SNMP version 3. For more information about how to
configure SNMP, refer to Chapter 32, “Securing SNMP Access”.
SNTP over IPv6
To enable the PowerConnect device to send SNTP packets over IPv6, enter a command such as the
following at the Global CONFIG level of the CLI.
PowerConnect(config)# sntp server ipv6 3000::400
Syntax: sntp server ipv6 ipv6-address
• The ipv6-address is the IPv6 address of the SNTP server. When you enter the IPv6 address, you
do not need to specifry the prefix length. A prefix length of 128 is implied.
Secure Shell, SCP, and IPv6
Secure Shell (SSH) is a mechanism that allows secure remote access to management functions on
the PowerConnect device. SSH provides a function similar to Telnet. You can log in to and configure
the PowerConnect device using a publicly or commercially available SSH client program, just as you
can with Telnet. However, unlike Telnet, which provides no security, SSH provides a secure,
encrypted connection to the device.
To open an SSH session between an IPv6 host running an SSH client program and the
PowerConnect device, open the SSH client program and specify the IPv6 address of the device. For
more information about configuring SSH on the PowerConnect device, refer to “SSH version 2
support” on page 911.
IPv6 Telnet
Telnet sessions can be established between a PowerConnect device to a remote IPv6 host, and
from a remote IPv6 host to the PowerConnect device using IPv6 addresses.
The telnet command establishes a Telnet connection from a PowerConnect device to a remote IPv6
host using the console. Up to five read-access Telnet sessions are supported on the router at one
time. Write-access through Telnet is limited to one session, and only one outgoing Telnet session is
supported on the router at one time. To see the number of open Telnet sessions at any time, enter
the show telnet command.
Example
To establish a Telnet connection to a remote host with the IPv6 address of 3001:2837:3de2:c37::6,
enter the following command.
PowerConnect# telnet 3001:2837:3de2:c37::6
Syntax: telnet ipv6-address [ port-number | outgoing-interface ethernet port | ve number ]
• The ipv6-address parameter specifies the address of a remote host. You must specify this
address in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.
