• Enabling ND proxy
(Optional.) Configuring path MTU discovery:
• Configuring the interface MTU
• Configuring a static path MTU for an IPv6 address

Assigning IPv6 addresses to interfaces
This section describes how to configure an IPv6 global unicast address, an IPv6 link-local address, and
an IPv6 anycast address.
Configuring an IPv6 global unicast address
Use one of the following methods to configure an IPv6 global unicast address for an interface:
