IPv6 routing

OS10 supports IPv6 routing and addressing, including the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP), stateless IPv6 address autoconfiguration, and stateful IPv6 address configuration. Configure IPv6 routing for IP hosts to communicate with one another in the same network, or in different networks.

NOTE:OS10 does not support Routing Information Protocol Next Generation (RIPNG).

Cofiguration notes

IPv6 processing is supported according to the OS10 interface type. The following interface-specific IPv6 settings apply:
  • Physical port and port-channel (LAG) interfaces are in L2 mode by default. IPv6 capability and forwarding are disabled in L2 mode. To enable IPv6 forwarding, set the interface in L3 mode using the no switchport and commit commands.
  • VLAN and Loopback interfaces come up in L3 mode with IPv6 capability and forwarding enabled by default.
  • On the management interface, IPv6 is enabled by default. IPv6 forwarding is disabled so that the interface operates in Host mode without routing traffic.
  • IPv6 stateless auto-configuration is disabled by default, except on the management interface. To enable autoconfiguration, use the ipv6 address autoconfig command in Interface mode. Autoconfiguration acquires a global IPv6 address using the network prefix in Router Advertisements. When IPv6 auto-configuration is enabled, IPv6 forwarding is disabled on the interface.

To disable auto-configuration, use the no ipv6 address autoconfig command. IPv6 forwarding remains enabled.
