19 Configuring IPv6
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the next generation of Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). Both
versions are supported along with the ability to tunnel IPv6 traffic over IPv4. Implementing IPv6 solves
the limited address problem currently facing IPv4, which provides a 32-bit address space. IPv6 increases
the address space available to 128 bits.
Note. IPv6 is only supported on the OmniSwitch 6850 and OmniSwitch 9000 switches for this release.
In This Chapter
This chapter describes IPv6 and how to configure it through Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI
commands are used in the configuration examples; for more details about the syntax of commands, see the
OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
This chapter provides an overview of IPv6 and includes information about the following procedures:
• Configuring an IPv6 interface (see page 19-11)
• Assigning IPv6 Addresses (see page 19-13)
• Configuring IPv6 Tunnel Interfaces (see page 19-15)
• Creating a Static Route (see page 19-16)
• Configuring the Route Preference of a Router (see page 19-17)
