60 Perform IPv6 pre-provisioning
60.1 Purpose
This chapter provides the procedure to provision the system to use IPv6. Use this
procedure to set IPv6 parameters before activating IPv6 on the NE. If you activate
IPv6 without performing pre-provisioning, default IP and OSPFv3 settings will be
applied.
60.2 General
The 9500 MPR supports IPv6 addressing. The NE Local IPv6 address is a Global
Unicast address which identifies the NE in the DCN.
The default address is FEC0:0:0:1::1. The prefix length is fixed to 128.
The NE Local IPv6 address must be configured according to the following rules:
• IPv6 addresses having the Interface ID portion equal to all 0 are not allowed
• IPv6 address::/128 (Unspecified address) is not allowed
• IPv6 address::1/128 (Loopback Address) is not allowed
• IPv6 addresses having FF00::/8 as high-order bits (Multicast addresses) are not
allowed
• IPv6 addresses having FE80::/10 as high-order bits (Link Local Addresses) are
not allowed
60.3 Procedure
1. From the main menu bar, select Configuration>Network Configuration>
IP Configuration>IPv6 Pre-provisioning. See Figure 660.
Caution: Mixed configuration of IPv4 and IPv6 NEs is not supported. Before activating IPv6,
ensure that all NEs in the network are IPv6 capable, that is, running R4.1.0 or higher
software. A controlled activation is required; see local guidelines.
