STEP 3 Click Add.
STEP 4 Enter values for the fields.
• IPv6 Interface—Displays the interface on which the IPv6 address is to be defined. If
an * is displayed, this means that the IPv6 interface is not enabled but has been
configured.
• IPv6 Address Type—Select the type of the IPv6 address to add.
- Link Local—An IPv6 address that uniquely identifies hosts on a single network link.
A link local address has a prefix of FE80, is not routable, and can be used for
communication only on the local network. Only one link local address is supported.
If a link local address exists on the interface, this entry replaces the address in the
configuration.
- Global—An IPv6 address that is a global Unicast IPV6 type that is visible and
reachable from other networks.
- Anycast—The IPv6 address is an Anycast address. This is an address that is
assigned to a set of interfaces that typically belong to different nodes. A packet sent
to an Anycast address is delivered to the closest interface—as defined by the routing
protocols in use—identified by the Anycast address.
NOTE Anycast cannot be used, if the IPv6 address is on an ISATAP interface.
• IPv6 Address—In addition to the default link local and Multicast addresses, the device
also automatically adds global addresses to the interface based on the router
advertisements it receives. The device supports a maximum of 128 addresses at the
interface. Each address must be a valid IPv6 address that is specified in hexadecimal
format by using 16-bit values separated by colons.
The following types of addresses can be added to various types of tunnels:
- To manual tunnels—Global or Anycast address
- To ISATAP tunnels—Global address with EUI-6
- 6to4 tunnels—None
• Prefix Length—The length of the Global IPv6 prefix is a value from 0-128 indicating
the number of the high-order contiguous bits of the address comprise the prefix (the
network portion of the address).
• EUI-64—Select to use the EUI-64 parameter to identify the interface ID portion of the
Global IPv6 address by using the EUI-64 format based on a device MAC address.
