Assigning IPv6 addresses to a brouter port interface

Assign IPv6 addresses to interfaces to configure IPv6 routing for the interface.

You can assign an IPv6 address to a VLAN or brouter port.

Before you begin

Change the VRF instance as required to assign IPv6 addresses to a brouter port interface on a specific VRF instance. Not all parameters are configurable on non-default VRFs.

About this task

To create MLT and LAG interfaces with IPv6, you must configure VLAN-based connections and you cannot use brouter ports.

Procedure

In the navigation pane, expand the following folders: Configuration > Edit > Port.
Click IPv6.
Click the Ipv6 Addresses tab.
Click Insert.
Click Insert.
Click Apply.

IPv6 Addresses field descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the IPv6 Addresses tab.


Name	Description
Interface	Specifies the port.
Addr	Specifies the IPv6 address to which this entry applies. Note: If the IPv6 address exceeds 116 octets, the object identifiers (OIDS) of instances of columns in this row are more than 128 subidentifiers and you cannot use SNMP-v1, SNMPv2c, or SNMPv3 to access them.
AddrLen	Specifies the prefix length value for this address. You cannot change the address length after you create it. You must provide this value to create an entry in this table.
Type	Specifies the type of address. The default is unicast.
Origin	Specifies the origin of the address.
Status	Specifies the status of the address, describing whether the address is used for communication.
Created	Specifies the sysUpTime of the creation of this entry. If the entry was created prior to the last reinitialization of the local management subsystem, the object contains a zero value.
LastChanged	Specifies the value of sysUpTime of the last modification to this entry. If the entry was created prior to the last reinitialization of the local management subsystem, the object contains a zero value.
