Configuring IPv6 Configuring an IPv6 Interface
OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Network Configuration Guide December 2017 page 17-14
Configuring a Unique Local IPv6 Unicast Address
The ipv6 address global-id command is used to create a new value for the global ID. A 5-byte global ID
value can be manually specified or automatically generated:
-> ipv6 address global-id generate
-> ipv6 address global-id 32:57a3:8fed
Once the global ID is generated the ipv6 address local-unicast command can be used to generate a
unique local address using the configured global-id.
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
advertisement (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
Note. If the global-id has not previously been specified with the commands above it will automatically be
generated when the first IPv6 local-unicast address command is issued.
