permit ipv6 (IPv6)
To create an access control list (ACL) rule that permits IPv6 traffic matching its conditions, use the 
permit command. To remove a rule, use the no form of this command.
General Syntax
[sequence-number] permit ipv6 source destination [dscp dscp | flow-label flow-label-value | 
fragments | log]
no permit ipv6 source destination [dscp dscp | flow-label flow-label-value | fragments | log]
no sequence-number
Syntax Description sequence-number (Optional) Sequence number of the permit command, which causes the 
device to insert the command in that numbered position in the access list. 
Sequence numbers maintain the order of rules within an ACL.
A sequence number can be any integer between 1 and 4294967295.
By default, the first rule in an ACL has a sequence number of 10.
If you do not specify a sequence number, the device adds the rule to the end 
of the ACL and assigns a sequence number that is 10 greater than the 
sequence number of the preceding rule.
Use the resequence command to reassign sequence numbers to rules.
source Source IPv6 addresses that the rule matches. For details about the methods 
that you can use to specify this argument, see the “Source and Destination” 
section in the “Usage Guidelines” section.
destination Destination IPv6 addresses that the rule matches. For details about the 
methods that you can use to specify this argument, see the “Source and 
Destination” section in the “Usage Guidelines” section.
