OBTAINING AN IPV6 ADDRESS
Link Local Address — There are several ways to configure IPv6 addresses.
The simplest method is to automatically generate a “link local” address
(identified by an address prefix of FE80). This address type makes the
switch accessible over IPv6 for all devices attached to the same local
subnet.
To generate an IPv6 link local address for the switch, complete the
following steps:
1. From the Global Configuration mode prompt, type “interface vlan 1” to
access the interface-configuration mode. Press <Enter>.
2. Type “ipv6 enable” and press <Enter>.
Console(config)#interface vlan 1
Console(config-if)#ipv6 enable
Console(config-if)#end
Console#show ipv6 interface
VLAN 1 is up
IPv6 is enabled.
