z  After an IPv6 site-local address or aggregatable global unicast address is configured for an 
interface, a link-local address is generated automatically. The automatically generated link-local 
address is the same as the one generated by using the ipv6 address auto link-local command.  
z  The undo ipv6 address auto link-local command can only remove the link-local addresses 
generated through the ipv6 address auto link-local command. Therefore, after the undo ipv6 
address auto link-local command is used on an interface that has an IPv6 site-local address or 
aggregatable global unicast address configured, the interface still has a link-local address. If the 
interface has no IPv6 site-local address or aggregatable global unicast address configured, it will 
have no link-local address. 
z  Manual assignment takes precedence over automatic generation. That is, if you first adopt 
automatic generation and then manual assignment, the manually assigned link-local address will 
overwrite the automatically generated one. If you first adopt manual assignment and then 
automatic generation, the automatically generated link-local address will not take effect and the 
link-local address of an interface is still the manually assigned one. If you delete the manually 
assigned address, the automatically generated link-local address is validated. For manually 
assignment of an IPv6 link-local address, see the ipv6 address link-local command. 
Examples 
# Configure VLAN-interface 100 to automatically generate a link-local address.

[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 100 
[Sysname-Vlan-interface100] ipv6 address auto link-local 
ipv6 address eui-64 
Syntax 
ipv6 address ipv6-address/prefix-length eui-64 
undo ipv6 address ipv6-address/prefix-length eui-64 
View 
Interface view 
Default Level 
2: System level 
Parameters 
ipv6-address/prefix-length: IPv6 address and IPv6 prefix. The ipv6-address  and  prefix-length 
arguments jointly specify the prefix of an IPv6 address in the EUI-64 format. 
Description 
Use the ipv6 address eui-64 command to configure a site-local address or global unicast address in 
the EUI-64 format for an interface. 
Use the undo ipv6 address eui-64 command to remove the configured site-local address or global 
unicast address in the EUI-64 format for the interface. 
By default, no site-local or global unicast address in EUI-64 format is configured for an interface. 
An EUI-64 IPv6 address is generated based on the specified prefix and the interface identifier 
generated automatically by the interface and can be displayed by using the display ipv6 interface 
command.
