Configuring an IPv6 global unicast address
Configure an IPv6 global unicast address by using the following options:
• EUI-64 IPv6 addressing—The IPv6 address prefix of an interface is manually configured, and the
interface identifier is generated automatically by the interface.
• Manual configuration—The IPv6 global unicast address is configured manually.
• Stateless address autoconfiguration—The IPv6 global unicast address is generated automatically
based on the address prefix information contained in the RA message.
• Prefix-generated address—The IPv6 global unicast address is generated automatically based on
the applied IPv6 prefix, specified sub-prefix bit and host bit information.
You can configure multiple IPv6 global unicast addresses with different prefixes on an interface.
A manually configured global unicast address takes precedence over an automatically generated one.
If a global unicast address has been automatically generated on an interface when you manually
configure another one with the same address prefix, the latter overwrites the previous. The overwritten
automatic global unicast address is not restored even if the manual one is removed. Instead, a new
global unicast address is automatically generated based on the address prefix information in the RA
message that the interface receives at the next time.
EUI-64 IPv6 addressing
To configure an interface to generate an EUI-64 IPv6 address:
Ste

3. Configure the interface to
generate an EUI-64 IPv6
address.

By default, no IPv6 global unicast
address is configured on an interface.
