Configuring IP addresses
3
You must specify the <ipv6-prefix> parameter in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons
as documented in RFC 2373.
Y
ou must specify the <prefix-length> paramet
er in
decimal value. A slash mark (/) must follow the <ipv6-prefix> paramet
er and precede the <prefix-length> parame
ter
.
IPv6 devices running Layer 2 software
To configure an IPv6 address to a device running Layer 2 software, complete the following tasks.
1. At the opening CLI prompt, enter enable.
FastIron> enable
2. Enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level prompt (for example, FastIron#),
then press Enter. This command erases the factory test configuration if still present.
FastIron# erase startup-config
Use the erase startup-config command only for new systems. If you enter this command on a
system you have already configured, the command erases the configuration. If you accidentally
do erase the configuration on a configured system, enter the write memory command to save the
running configuration to the startup-config file.
3. Access the configuration level of the CLI by entering the following command.
Privileged EXEC Level.
FastIron# configure terminal
Global CONFIG Level.
FastIron(config)#
4. Configure the IP address and mask for the switch.
FastIron(config)# ipv6 address 2001:200:12D:1300:240:D0FF:FE48:4000:1/64
The above procedure shows how to configure an IPv6 address with a manually configured interface
ID as the system-wide address for the switch. You could also configure an IPv6 address with an
automatically computed EUI-64 interface ID as the system-wide address for the switch. A link-local
IPv6 address is also supported. For details, refer to the FastIron Configuration Guide.
Syntax: enable [<password>]
Syntax: configure terminal
Syntax: [no] ipv6 address <ipv6-prefix>/<prefix-length>
You must specify the <ipv6-prefix> variable in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as
documented in RFC 2373.
You must specify the <prefix-length> variable in decimal value. A slash mark (/) must follow the
<ipv6-prefix> variable and precede the <prefix-length> variable.
