Version Description
7.8.1.0 Introduced on the C-Series and S-Series.
7.4.1.0 Introduced on the E-Series.
Usage Information
• If two addresses are configured, delete an existing address before configuring a new address.
• If the last manually-configured global IPv6 address is removed using the “no” form of the command, the link-
local IPv6 address is removed automatically.
• IPv6 addresses on a single management interface cannot be members of the same subnet.
• IPv6 secondary addresses on management interfaces across platform must be members of the same subnet.
• IPv6 secondary addresses on management interfaces should not match the virtual IP address and should not
be in the same subnet as the virtual IP.
NOTE: Do not use the /128 prefix length on physical or port channel interfaces. You can use
the /128 prefix length on loopback interfaces.
Example
DellEMC(conf)# interface tengigabitethernet 1/2
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/2)# ipv6 address ?
X:X:X:X::X IPv6 address
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/2)# ipv6 address 2002:1:2::3 ?
<0-128> Prefix length in bits
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/2)# ipv6 address 2002:1:2::3 /96 ?
<cr>
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/2)#
ipv6 address 2002:1:2::3 /96
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/2)# show config
!
interface TenGigabitEthernet 1/2
no ip address
ipv6 address 2002:1:2::3 /96
no shutdown
ipv6 address eui64
Configure IPv6 EUI64 address configuration on the interface.
Syntax
ipv6 address {ipv6-address prefix-length} eui64
To disable IPv6 EUI64 address autoconfiguration, use the no ipv6 address {ipv6-address prefix-
length} eui64 command.
Parameters
ipv6-address
prefix-length
Enter the IPv6 prefix in the x:x:x:x::x format then the prefix length in the /x format. The
range is from /0 to /128.
