ipv6 mtu
29-12 IPv6 Configuration
Usage
When this command is executed, an IPv6 link-local unicast address is configured on the interface
and IPv6 processing is enabled. You do not need to use this command if you configured an IPv6
global address on an interface with the ipv6 address command.
The no ipv6 enable command disables IPv6 routing on an interface that has been enabled with the
ipv6 enable command, but it does not disable IPv6 processing on an interface that is configured
with an explicit IPv6 address.
Example
This example enables IPv6 processing on VLAN 7. Note that a link-local address has been
automatically configured.
C3(su)->router(Config-if(Vlan 7))# ipv6 enable
C3(su)->router>show ipv6 interface vlan 7
