add ipv6-address


Description	Adds a static IPv6 address for a controller network port. A maximum of eight static IPv6 addresses can be configured, four per controller. These addresses can be configured at any time, but can only become active when the set ipv6-network-parameters command autoconfig parameter is disabled. All addresses added to the IPv6 address list should be reachable if autoconfig is disabled. They are ignored if autoconfig is enabled. Static addresses are stored on the controller enclosure midplane. Therefore the addresses will persist even if both controller modules are replaced.
Minimum role	standard
Syntax	add ipv6-address [address-label <name>] [controller a\|b] ip-address <IP-address> [prefix-length <value>]
Parameters	address-label <name> Optional. Lets you specify a name for how the address is used. Input rules: The value is case sensitive. The value can have a maximum of 32 bytes. The value can include spaces and printable UTF-8 characters except: " , < \ A value that includes a space must be enclosed in double quotes. If this parameter is specified, each interface needs a unique name within the scope of each controller. For example, controller A can have only one address labeled vlan1, and controller B can also have only one address labeled vlan1 . controller a\|b Optional. Specifies to change controller A or B, only. If this parameter is omitted, changes affect the controller being accessed. ip-address <IP-address> Specifies the IPv6 address to add. The value may include the standard IPv6 /prefixLength 1-128 notation; or the prefixLength may be omitted if the prefix-length parameter is used instead. The address cannot be used elsewhere in the network port configuration. prefix-length <value> Optional. Specifies the length of the prefix in the IP address. This parameter is valid only if the ip-parameter value does not include /prefixLength notation.
Examples	Add an IPv6 address named vlan1 to the network port in controller A only. # addipv6-address controller a address-label vlan1ip-address 2620:0:350:fc02:2c0:ffff:fe28:8787/64
