Reference Guide

• Enter the IPv6 Address for the device.
CONFIG-INTERFACE mode
ipv6 address ipv6 address/mask
– ipv6 address: x:x:x:x::x
– mask: The prefix length is from 0 to 128
NOTE: IPv6 addresses are normally written as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits. Separate each group by
a colon (:). Omitting zeros is accepted as described in Addressing.
Assigning a Static IPv6 Route
IPv6 static routes are supported on the Z9000 platform.
To configure IPv6 static routes, use the ipv6 route command.
NOTE: After you configure a static IPv6 route (the ipv6 route command) and configure the forwarding router’s
address (specified in the
ipv6 route command) on a neighbor’s interface, the IPv6 neighbor does not display in
the show ipv6 route command output.
• Set up IPv6 static routes.
CONFIGURATION mode
ipv6 route prefix type {slot/port} forwarding router tag
– prefix: IPv6 route prefix
– type {slot/port}: interface type and slot/port
– forwarding router: forwarding router’s address
– tag: route tag
Enter the keyword interface then the type of interface and slot/port information:
– For a 10/100/1000 Ethernet interface, enter the keyword GigabitEthernet then the slot/ port
information.
– For a Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword GigabitEthernet then the slot/ port information.
– For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port
information.
– For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/port information.
– For a loopback interface, enter the keyword loopback then the loopback number.
– For a port-channel interface, enter the keywords port-channel then the port-channel number.
– For a VLAN interface, enter the keyword vlan then the VLAN ID.
– For a Null interface, enter the keyword null then the Null interface number.
Configuring Telnet with IPv6
IPv6 telnet is supported on the Z9000 platform.
The Telnet client and server in FTOS supports IPv6 connections. You can establish a Telnet session directly to the router
using an IPv6 Telnet client, or you can initiate an IPv6 Telnet connection from the router.
• Enter the IPv6 Address for the device.
