IPv6 Routing
Dell Networking N3000 and N4000 Series Switches
This chapter describes how to configure general IPv6 routing information on
the switch, including global routing settings and IPv6 static routes. The topics
covered in this chapter include:
• IPv6 Routing Overview
• Default IPv6 Routing Values
• Configuring IPv6 Routing Features (Web)
• Configuring IPv6 Routing Features (CLI)
• IPv6 Static Reject and Discard Routes
• IPv6 Router Advertisement Guard
The Dell Networking N-Series switches support additional features to help
manage IPv6 networks, including OSPFv3, DHCPv6, and IPv6 multicast. For
information about OSPFv3, see "OSPF and OSPFv3 " on page 1181. For
information about DHCPv6, see "DHCPv6 Server and Relay Settings " on
page 1425. For information about IPv6 multicast, see "IPv4 and IPv6
Multicast " on page 1509.
For configuration examples that include IPv6 interface configuration, see
"OSPF Configuration Examples " on page 1247
IPv6 Routing Overview
IPv6 is the next generation of the Internet Protocol. With 128-bit addresses,
versus 32-bit addresses for IPv4, IPv6 solves the address depletion issues seen
with IPv4 and removes the requirement for Network Address Translation
(NAT), which is used in IPv4 networks to reduce the number of globally
unique IP addresses required for a given network.
NOTE: This feature is not available on Dell Networking N1500 and N2000 Series
switches.
