Optional.

● enabled or on: Specifies whether to use an automated method (either DHCPv6 or SLAAC, as

defined by the network configuration) to automatically configure the address. This provides a

single IPv6 address. If a DHCPv6 address is available, DHCPv6 will provide the interface address.

If DHCPv6 cannot provide an address, the SLAAC address will be the single interface address.

This is the default.

● disabled or off: Specifies whether to use manual mode. This mode uses static IPv6 addresses

set with the add ipv6-address command. To use manual mode, at least one and up to four IPv6

addresses must already be set.

NOTE: Enabling autoconfig will deactivate any static IPv6 addresses, which will no longer be

reachable. The static IPv6 addresses will otherwise remain in the configuration, but will not be

bound to any interface unless autoconfig is subsequently disabled.

[controller a|b|both]

Optional. Specifies whether to change controller A, B, or both. If this parameter is omitted, changes

affect both controllers.

[gateway gateway

Optional. Specifies a gateway IP address for the port. The value must be a valid IPv6 address.

The value cannot include a prefix or /prefixLength notation. The address cannot be used

elsewhere in the network port configuration. All addresses share a single gateway.

Examples For controller A, enable autoconfig and set the gateway address.
