8. Click Apply.
To enable MLDv1 via the command-line interface, issue the following commands in config mode:
vlan 22
interface vlan 22
ipv6 mld snooping
IPv6 User Addresses
Viewing or Deleting User Entries
There is a separate user table for IPv6 users that contains entries for every IPv6 address used by a client. To view
or delete IPv6 User entries via the WebUI:
1. Navigate to the Monitoring > Controller > Clients page.
2. Click the IPv6 tab to display IPv6 clients.
3. To delete an entry in the IPv6 client display, click the radio button to the left of the client and then click
Disconnect.
To view user entries for IPv6 clients using the command line interface, issue the show ipv6 user-table command
in enable mode. To delete a user entry for an IPv6 client, access the CLI in config mode and use the aaa ipv6 user
delete command. For example:
aaa ipv6 user delete 2002:d81f:f9f0:1000:e409:9331:1d27:ef44
Viewing Datapath Statistics for IPv6 Sessions
To view datapath session statistics for individual IPv6 sessions, access the command-line interface in enable mode
and issue the command show ipv6 datapath session. To display the user entries in the datapath, access the
command-line interface in enable mode, and issue the command show ipv6 datapath user. For details on each of
these commands and the output they display, refer to the Dell PowerConnect ArubaOS CLI Reference Guide.
Important Points to Remember
This ArubaOS release does not support the following functions for IPv6 clients:
z Do not use VLAN pooling if you enable IPv6 forwarding on the controller, as VLAN pooling will flood IPv6
multicast packets for all VLANs that are part of the VLAN pool. This can cause autoconfigured clients to
acquire multiple IPv6 addresses (one for each vlan in the pool) making those clients behave unpredictably. If
you need to work around this limitation, you can unicast BC/MC traffic to every station. To enable this
workaround, you must enable the wlan ssid-profile battery-boost option, and install a Policy Enforcement
Firewall Next Generation (PEFNG) license.
z The controller cannot route packets with IPv6 addresses; the routing function must be performed by an
external IPv6 router.
z The controller does not perform network address translation on IPv6 addresses.
z The controller does not generate any IPv6 ICMP messages.
z Voice over IP is not supported for IPv6 clients.
z Remote AP supports IPv6 clients in tunnel forwarding mode only. The Remote AP bridge and split-tunnel
forwarding modes do not support IPv6 clients. Secure Thin Remote Access Point (STRAP) cannot support
IPv6 clients.
z The controller cannot terminate VPNs for IPv6 clients.
z Layer-3 authentications, such as captive portal and VPN authentication, cannot be performed for IPv6 clients.
z ArubaOS does not support RADIUS over IPv6 as an authentication protocol.
