Displaying global IPv6 information
43
To display a summary of the IPv6 route table, enter the following command at any CLI level.
The following table lists the information displayed by the show ipv6 route summary command.
Displaying local IPv6 routers
The Brocade device can function as an IPv6 host, instead of an IPv6 router, if you configure IPv6
addresses on its interfaces but do not enable IPv6 routing using the ipv6 unicast-routing
command.
From the IPv6 host, you can display information about IPv6 routers to which the host is connected.
The host learns about the routers through their router advertisement messages. To display
information about the IPv6 routers connected to an IPv6 host, enter the following command at any
CLI level.
Syntax: show ipv6 router
If you configure your Brocade device to function as an IPv6 router (you configure IPv6 addresses on
its interfaces and enable IPv6 routing using the ipv6 unicast-routing command) and you enter the
show ipv6 router command, you will receive the following output.
Meaningful output for this command is generated for Brocade devices configured to function as
IPv6 hosts only.
This display shows the following information.
Next-Hop Router The next-hop router.
Interface The interface through which this router sends packets to reach the
route's destination.
