default gateway in most deployments. However, the switch can be the default gateway by using static routes.
The master-local communication always occurs in IPv4.
The following image illustrates how IPv6 clients, APs, and switches communicate with each other in an IPv6
network:
Figure 28 IPv6 Topology
n The IPv6 switch (MC2) terminates both V4 AP (IPv4 AP) and V6 AP (IPv6 AP).
n Client 1 (IPv4 client) terminates to V6 AP and Client 2 (IPv6 client) terminates to V4 AP.
n Router is an external IPv6 router in the subnet that acts as the default gateway in this illustration.
n MC1 (master) and MC2 (local) communicates in IPv4.
Enabling IPv6
You must enable the IPv6 option on the switch before using any of the IPv6 functions. You can use the ipv6
enable command to enable the IPv6 packet/firewall processing on the switch. The IPv6 option is disabled by
default.
You can also use the WebUI to enable the IPv6 option:
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Advanced Services > Stateful Firewall page.
2. Select the Global Settings tab.
3. Select the IPv6 Enable check box to enable the IPv6 option.
4. Click Apply .

This release of AOS-W provides IPv6 support for switches and access points. You can now configure the master
switch with an IPv6 address to manage the switches and APs. Both IPv4 and IPv6 APs can terminate on the
