17 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.
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 AOS Release 8 CLI Reference Guide.
