Defining IPv6 Addresses
To assign an IPv6 address to an IPv6 Interface:
STEP 1 Click Administration > Management Interface > IPv6 Addresses
STEP 2 To filter the table, select an interface name, and click Go. The interface appears in
the IPv6 Address Table.
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.
• IPv6 Address—In Layer 2, the device supports a single IPv6 interface. 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).
