Configuring IPv6 Unicast Routing
Information About IPv6
For easier implementation, leading zeros in each field are optional. This is the same address without leading zeros:
2031:0:130F:0:0:9C0:80F:130B
You can also use two colons (::) to represent successive hexadecimal fields of zeros, but you can use this short version
only once in each address:
2031:0:130F::09C0:080F:130B
For more information about IPv6 address formats, address types, and the IPv6 packet header, see IPv6 Addressing and
Basic Connectivity Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS Release 15M&T in the IPv6 Configuration Library, Cisco IOS Release
15M&T.
In the “Information About Implementing Basic Connectivity for IPv6” chapter, these sections apply to the switch:
 IPv6 Address Formats
 IPv6 Address Type: Unicast
 IPv6 Address Output Display
 Simplified IPv6 Packet Header
Supported IPv6 Unicast Routing Features
Support on the switch includes expanded address capability, header format simplification, improved support of
extensions and options, and hardware parsing of the extension header. The switch supports hop-by-hop extension
header packets, which are routed or bridged in software.
The switch provides IPv6 routing capability over 802.1Q trunk ports for static routes, Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
for IPv6, and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Version 3 Protocol. It supports up to 16 equal-cost routes and can
simultaneously forward IPv4 and IPv6 frames at line rate.
Note: For more information about the IPv6 unicast routing features described in this section, see IPv6 Configuration
Library, Cisco IOS Release 15M&T and IPv6 Implementation Guide, Cisco IOS Release 15.2M&T.
