Version 6.8 103 Mediant MSBR
Configuration Guide 17. IPv6
17 IPv6
IPv6, as described in RFC 2460, is a new version of the Internet Protocol, designed to be a
successor to the IPv4 protocol. It has new features that can be described in the following
categories:

Expanded addressing capabilities. The IPv6 address size is 128 bits compared to
32bits of the IPv4 protocol.

The IPv6 header has fewer fields than IPv4.
The IPv6 packet header is shown below:
Version[4 bits] Traffic class [8 bits] Flow label [20 bits]
Payload length [16 bits] Next header [8 bits] Hop limit [8 bits]
Source address [128 bits]
Destination address [128 bits]

Improved support for extensions and options.

Flow labeling for particular traffic flows.

Authentication and privacy capabilities.
IPv6 addresses on the MSBR are configured on routed interfaces, and usually are
accompanied by the subnet mask, which is used for subnet calculation.
As is the case with IPv4, each Layer-3 interface can be assigned one primary IPv6 address
and several secondary IPv6 addresses.
To configure IPv6 addresses per interface, use the following configuration steps:
Command Description
MSBR# configure data
Enters the data configuration menu.
(config-data)# interface
<interfaces number>
Enters the interface configuration.
(conf-if-GE 0/0)# ipv6 enable
Enables IPv6 on the interface.
(conf-if-GE 0/0)# ipv6 address
<IPv6 addr>/<mask>
Configures the IPv6 address and mask
separated by a forward slash "/".
(conf-if-GE 0/0)# ipv6 address
<IPv6 addr>/<mask>
Configures an optional, multiple addresses using
the same command (The keyword "secondary" is
not required for IPv6).
