Configuring an IPv6 Interface Configuring IPv6
page 19-12 OmniSwitch 6800/6850/9000 Network Configuration Guide March 2008
To create an IPv6 interface for a 6to4 tunnel, use the following command:
-> ipv6 interface v6if-6to4 tunnel 6to4
Use the show ipv6 interface command to verify the interface configuration for the switch. For more infor-
mation about this command, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
Modifying an IPv6 Interface
The ipv6 interface command is also used to modify existing IPv6 interface parameter values. It is not
necessary to first remove the interface and then create it again with the new values. The changes specified
will overwrite existing parameter values. For example, the following command changes the router adver-
tisement (RA) reachable time and the RA retransmit timer values for interface v6if-v200:
-> ipv6 interface v6if-v200 ra-reachable-time 60000 ra-retrans-time 2000
When an existing interface name is specified with the ipv6 interface command, the command modifies
specified parameters for that interface. If an unknown interface name is entered along with an existing
VLAN or tunnel parameter, a new interface is created with the name specified.
Removing an IPv6 Interface
To remove an IPv6 interface from the switch configuration, use the no form of the ipv6 interface
command. Note that it is only necessary to specify the name of the interface, as shown in the following
example:
-> no ipv6 interface v6if-v200
