An IPv6 Address is displayed on two lines

IP preserve for IPv6

IPv6 supports the IP preserve feature, which allows you to copy a configuration file from a TFTP

server to multiple switches without overwriting the IPv6 address and subnet mask on VLAN 1 (the

default VLAN) in each switch, and the Gateway IPv6 address assigned to the switch.

Configuring IP preserve

Enter the ip preserve statement at the end of the configuration file to be downloaded from a

TFTP server. (You do not invoke IP preserve by entering a command from the CLI.)

ip preserve

Entering an ip preserve statement as the last line in a configuration file stored

on a TFTP server allows you to download and execute the file as the startup-config

file on an IPv6 switch. When the switch reboots, the configuration settings in the

downloaded file are implemented without changing the IPv6 address and gateway

assigned to the switch as shown in Example 30 (page 52).

Downloading an IP preserve configuration file to an IPv6-based switch

Enter the TFTP copy command, as described in “SNMP management for IPv6” (page 54), to copy

the file as the new startup-config file on a switch.

When you download an IP Preserve configuration file, the following rules apply:

• If the switch's current IPv6 address for VLAN 1 was statically configured and not dynamically

assigned by a DHCP/Bootp server, the switch reboots and retains its current IPv6 address,
