Version Description
7.4.1.0 Introduced on the E-Series TeraScale.
Usage Information
• If two addresses are configured, delete an existing address before configuring a new address.
• If the last manually-configured global IPv6 address is removed using the “no” form of the command, the link-
local IPv6 address is removed automatically.
• IPv6 addresses on a single management interface cannot be members of the same subnet.
• IPv6 secondary addresses on management interfaces across platform must be members of the same subnet.
• IPv6 secondary addresses on management interfaces should not match the virtual IP address and should not
be in the same subnet as the virtual IP.
NOTE: Do not use the /128 prefix length on physical or port channel interfaces. You can use
the /128 prefix length on loopback interfaces.
