set ipv6 address
UsethiscommandtoconfigureIPv6globaladdressinginformation.
Syntax
set ipv6 address ipv6-addr/prefix-length [eui64]
Parameters
Defaults
NoglobalunicastIPv6addressisdefinedbydefault.
Mode
Switchmode,read‐write.
Usage
UsethiscommandtomanuallyconfigureaglobalunicastIPv6addressforIPv6management.You
canspecifytheaddresscompletely,oryoucanusetheoptionaleui64parametertoallowthe
switchtogeneratethelowerorder64bitsoftheaddress.
Whenusingtheeui64parameter,youspecifyonlythe
networkprefixandlength.
