Switch Management Commands 1996
ipv6 address (OOB Port)
Use the ipv6 address command in Interface (out-of-band) Configuration
mode to set the IPv6 prefix on the out-of-band port. If a prefix is specified,
the address will be configured using the prefix and length A link local address
in EUI-64 format may also be assigned.
The autoconfig parameter specifies that a link local address in the EUI-64
format is assigned to the interface.
The DHCP parameter indicates that the port should obtain its address via
DHCP.
Use the no form of the command to remove a specific address or to return the
address assignment to its default value. Using the no form of the command
with no parameters removes all IPv6 prefixes from the interface.

User Guidelines
When DHCPv6 is enabled on the Out-of-Band interface, the system
automatically deletes all manually configured IPv6 addresses on the interface.
DHCPv6 can be enabled on the Out-of-Band interface only when IPv6 auto
configuration or DHCPv6 is not enabled on any of the in-band management
interfaces.
