6 IPv6 Routing Basics

NOTE: All commands previously in the Summary of commands table are indexed under the entry

Command syntax.

IPv6 routing overview

Beginning with software release K.15.01, the switches support these IPv6 routing features:

• “IPv6 Static Routing” (page 180)

• “IPv6 Router Advertisements” (page 186)

• “DHCPv6-Relay” (page 203)

• “OSPFv3 Routing” (page 209)

This chapter covers basic IPv6 routing topics and configuration needed to implement both static

and dynamic IPv6 routing.

NOTE: To use the switch in IPv6 host-only mode in an IPv6 routing environment or for information

on configuring IPv6 addresses, see:

• “Enabling autoconfiguration of a global unicast address and a default router identity on a

VLAN” (page 14)

• “Router access and default router selection” (page 33)

In the context of the routing operation supported on the HP switches, the switches are referred to

as routing switches.

Routing topics and terminology in this chapter refer to IPv6 routing only. For information on IPv4

routing, see the latest Multicast and Routing Guide for your routing switch.

Dual stack IPv4/IPv6 operation

The switches support IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack operation. This allows full ethernet link support for

switching and routing both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic on the same VLAN interfaces configured on the

switch without modifying current IPv4 network topologies. This enables you to use IPv6 devices on

existing VLANs, manage the switches and other devices from IPv6 management stations, and

create dedicated groups of IPv6 devices as needed to accommodate the need for the IPv6 network

growth anticipated for the future.
