Command Usage
◆ DHCPv6 is disabled by default. To manually configure a new IPv6 address, you
must first disable the DHCPv6 client with the no ipv6 dhcp command.
◆ You must assign an IPv6 address to this device to gain management access over
the network or to connect the access point to existing IPv6 subnets. You can
manually configure a specific IPv6 address using this command, or direct the
device to obtain an address from a DHCPv6 server using the ipv6 dhcp
command.
