Examples
Network requirements
Switch A and Switch B are directly connected through two Ethernet ports that
belong to VLAN 2. Different types of IPv6 addresses are configured for the
interface VLAN-interface 2 to verify the connectivity between two switches. The
IPv6 prefix in the EUI-64 format is 2001::/64, the global unicast address of Switch
A is 3001::1/64, and the global unicast address of Switch B is 3001::2/64.
