The total number of groups is 4.
Assigning an IPv6 Address to an Interface
Essentially, IPv6 is enabled in Dell EMC Networking OS simply by assigning IPv6 addresses to individual router interfaces. You can use IPv6
and IPv4 together on a system, but be sure to dierentiate that usage carefully. To assign an IPv6 address to an interface, use the
ipv6
address command.
NOTE: If you assign an IPv6 address to an interface enabled with DAD, Dell EMC Networking OS consider the assigned IPv6
address as tentative and will not use the address until the DAD verication is done. The time for an IPv6 address to become
active increases as the number of DAD attempts increase.
You can congure up to two IPv6 addresses on management interfaces, allowing required default router support on the management port
that is acting as host, per RFC 4861. Data ports support more than two IPv6 addresses.
When you congure IPv6 addresses on multiple interfaces (the ipv6 address command) and verify the conguration (the show ipv6
interfaces command), the same link local (fe80) address is displayed for each IPv6 interface.
• Enter the IPv6 Address for the device.
CONFIG-INTERFACE mode
ipv6 address ipv6 address/mask
– ipv6 address: x:x:x:x::x
– mask: The prex 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
To congure IPv6 static routes, use the ipv6 route command.
NOTE
: After you congure a static IPv6 route (the ipv6 route command) and congure the forwarding router’s address
(specied 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 [vrf vrf-name] prefix interface-type slot/port forwarding router tag
– vrf vrf-name:(OPTIONAL) name of the VRF.
– prefix: IPv6 route prex
– 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 1-GigabitEthernet 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 Loopback interface, enter the keyword loopback then a number from 0 to 16383.
– For a port channel interface, enter the keywords port-channel then a number.
