Assigning Ipv6 Addresses To Interfaces; Configuring An Ipv6 Global Unicast Address - HP FlexNetwork MSR2003 Configuration Manual

Assigning IPv6 addresses to interfaces

This section describes how to configure an IPv6 global unicast address, an IPv6 link-local address,
and an IPv6 anycast address.

Configuring an IPv6 global unicast address

Use one of the following methods to configure an IPv6 global unicast address for an interface:
•
EUI-64 IPv6 address—The IPv6 address prefix of the interface is manually configured, and the
interface ID is generated automatically by the interface.
•
Manual configuration—The IPv6 global unicast address is manually configured.
•
Stateless address autoconfiguration—The IPv6 global unicast address is generated
automatically based on the address prefix information contained in the RA message.
You can configure multiple IPv6 global unicast addresses on an interface.
Manually configured global unicast addresses (including EUI-64 IPv6 addresses) take precedence
over automatically generated ones. If you manually configure a global unicast address with the same
address prefix as an existing global unicast address on an interface, the manually configured one
takes effect. However, it does not overwrite the automatically generated address. If you remove the
manually configured global unicast address, the device uses the automatically generated one.
EUI-64 IPv6 address
To configure an interface to generate an EUI-64 IPv6 address:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Configure the interface to
generate an EUI-64 IPv6
address.
Manual configuration
To configure an IPv6 global unicast address for an interface:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Configure an IPv6 global
unicast address for the
interface.
Stateless address autoconfiguration
To configure an interface to generate an IPv6 address through stateless address autoconfiguration:
Step
1. Enter system view.
