Configuring basic IPv6 connectivity on a Layer 3 switch

• Solicited-node for anycast address FF02:0:0:0:0:1:FF00::0000
• All-nodes link-local multicast group FF02::1
• All-routers link-local multicast group FF02::2
The neighbor discovery feature sends messages to these multicast groups. For more information,
refer to “Configuring IPv6 neighbor discovery” on page 77.
Configuring a global or site-local IPv6 address with a manually configured interface ID
To configure a global or site-local IPv6 address, including a manually configured interface ID, for an
interface, enter commands such as the following.
PowerConnect(config)# interface ethernet 1
PowerConnect(config-if-e10000-1)# ipv6 address 2001:200:12D:1300:240:D0FF:
FE48:4672:/64
These commands configure the global prefix 2001:200:12d:1300::/64 and the interface ID
::240:D0FF:FE48:4672, and enable IPv6 on Ethernet interface 1.
Syntax: ipv6 address ipv6-prefix / prefix-length
You must specify the ipv6-prefix parameter in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as
documented in RFC 2373.
You must specify the prefix-length parameter as a decimal value. A slash mark (/) must follow the
ipv6-prefix parameter and precede the prefix-length parameter.
To configure a /122 address on a VE enter commands similar to the following.
PowerConnect(config-vlan-11)# int ve11
PowerConnect(config-vif-11)# ipv6 add 2020::1/122
PowerConnect(config-vif-11)# sh ipv6 int

Configuring a global IPv6 address with an automatically computed EUI-64 interface ID
To configure a global IPv6 address with an automatically computed EUI-64 interface ID in the
low-order 64-bits, enter commands such as the following.
PowerConnect(config)# interface ethernet 1
PowerConnect(config-if-e10000-1)# ipv6 address 2001:200:12D:1300::/64 eui-64
These commands configure the global prefix 2001:200:12d:1300::/64 and an interface ID, and
enable IPv6 on Ethernet interface 1.
Syntax: ipv6 address ipv6-prefix / prefix-length eui-64
You must specify the ipv6-prefix parameter in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as
documented in RFC 2373.
You must specify the prefix-length parameter as a decimal value. A slash mark (/) must follow the
ipv6-prefix parameter and precede the prefix-length parameter.
