1.3 Configuring Basic IPv6 Functions
1.3.1 Enabling the IPv6 Packet Forwarding Function
Before IPv6-related configurations, you must enable the IPv6 packet forwarding
function. Otherwise, an interface cannot forward IPv6 packets even if an IPv6 address
is configured, resulting in communication failures in the IPv6 network.
Follow these steps to enable the IPv6 packet forwarding function:
