Step Command Remarks 
3.  Manually specify an IPv6 
link-local address for the 
interface. 
ipv6 address
 ipv6-address 
link-local
 
By default, no link-local address is 
configured on an interface. 
After an IPv6 global unicast address is 
configured on the interface, a link-local 
address is generated automatically. 
 
After you configure an IPv6 global unicast address for an interface, the interface automatically 
generates a link-local address. The automatically generated link-local address is the same as the 
one generated by using the ipv6 address auto link-local command. If a link-local address is 
manually assigned to an interface, this manual link-local address takes effect. If the manually 
assigned link-local address is removed, the automatically generated link-local address takes effect. 
Using the undo ipv6 address auto link-local command on an interface only removes the link-local 
address generated by the ipv6 address auto link-local command. If the interface has an IPv6 
global unicast address, it still has a link-local address. If the interface has no IPv6 global unicast 
address, it has no link-local address. 
Configuring an IPv6 anycast address 
Step Command Remarks 
1.  Enter system view. 
system-view 
N/A 
2.  Enter interface view. 
interface 
interface-type 
interface-number 
N/A 
3.  Configure an IPv6 anycast 
address. 
ipv6 address
 { ipv6-address 
prefix-length | 
ipv6-address/prefix-length } 
anycast
 
By default, no IPv6 anycast 
address is configured on an 
interface. 
 
Configuring IPv6 ND 
This section describes how to configure IPv6 ND. 
Configuring a static neighbor entry 
A neighbor entry stores information about a link-local node. The entry can be created dynamically 
through NS and NA messages, or configured statically. 
The device uniquely identifies a static neighbor entry by the IPv6 address and the local Layer 3 
interface number of the neighbor. You can configure a static neighbor entry by using one of the 
following methods: 
• Method 1—Associate a neighbor's IPv6 address and link-layer address with the local Layer 3 
interface. 
If you use Method 1, the device automatically finds the Layer 2 port connected to the neighbor. 
• Method 2—Associate a neighbor's IPv6 address and link-layer address with a Layer 2 port in a 
VLAN. 
If you use Method 2, make sure the Layer 2 port belongs to the specified VLAN and the 
corresponding VLAN interface already exists. The device associates the VLAN interface with 
the neighbor IPv6 address to identify the static neighbor entry.
