Assign IPv6 Addresses to Interfaces
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 interfaces 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 .
- Select IPv6.
- Select the Addresses tab.
- Select Insert.
- In the Interface field, Select Port or VLAN.

Name |
Description |
---|---|
Interface |
Specifies the interface to which this entry applies. |
Addr |
Specifies the IPv6 address to which this entry applies.
Important:
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 |

possible origins:
|
Status |

address is used for communication. The following list shows the
possible statuses:
|
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. |
ValidLifetime |
Shows how long, in seconds, the address is valid. |
