Usage Enable IPv6 unicast forwarding globally for all interface on your device with this

IPv6 unicast forwarding allows devices to communicate with devices that are more
than one hop away, providing that there is a route to the destination address. If
IPv6 forwarding is not enabled then pings to addresses on devices that are more
than one hop away will fail, even if there is a route to the destination address.
Examples To enable IPv6 unicast routing, use this command as shown below:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# ipv6 forwarding
To disable IPv6 unicast routing, use the no variant of this command as shown
below:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# no ipv6 forwarding
