ipv6 address
Configures an IPv6 address for an IPv6 interface on a VLAN. There are different formats for this
command depending on the address type.
ipv6 address ipv6_address /prefix_length [anycast] {if_name | loopback}
no ipv6 address ipv6_address [anycast] {if_name | loopback}
ipv6 address ipv6_prefix eui-64 {if_name | loopback}
no ipv6 address ipv6_prefix eui-64 {if_name | loopback}
Syntax Definitions
ipv6_address IPv6 address.
/prefix_length The number of bits that are significant in the IPv6 address (mask).
(3..128).
anycast Indicates the address is an anycast address.
eui-64 Append an EUI-64 identifier to the prefix.
if_name Name assigned to the interface.

Usage Guidelines
• Use the no form of this command to delete an address.
• You can assign multiple IPv6 addresses to an IPv6 interface.
• No default value for prefix length.
• The “eui” form of the command is used to add or remove an IPv6 address for a VLAN using an EUI-64
interface ID in the low order 64 bits of the address.
• To enable IPv6 routing you must first create a VLAN, then create an IPv6 interface on the VLAN. See
Chapter 22, “VLAN Management Commands,” for information on creating VLANs.
