set ipv6-network-parameters

Description Sets IPv6 parameters for the network port in each controller module.
Minimum role standard
Syntax

set ipv6-network-parameters

[autoconfig enabled|disabled|on|off]

[controller a|b|both]

[gateway <gateway>]

[reset-link]

Parameters
NOTE:At minimum, autoconfig or gateway must be specified.
[autoconfig enabled|disabled|on|off]

Optional.

  • enabled or on: Specifies to use an automated method (either DHCPv6 or SLAAC, as defined by the network configuration) to automatically configure the address. If a DHCPv6 address is available, DHCPv6 will provide an interface address. If DHCPv6 cannot provide an address, the SLAAC address will be the single interface address. This is the default.
  • disabled or off: Specifies to use manual mode. This mode uses static IPv6 addresses set with the add ipv6-address command. To use manual mode, at least one and up to four IPv6 addresses must already be set.
NOTE:Enabling autoconfig will deactivate any static IPv6 addresses, which will no longer be reachable. The static IPv6 addresses will otherwise remain in the configuration, but will not be bound to any interface unless autoconfig is subsequently disabled.
[controller a|b|both]

Optional. Specifies whether to change controller A, B, or both. If this parameter is omitted, changes affect both controllers.

[gateway <gateway>

Optional. Specifies a gateway IP address for the port. The value must be a valid IPv6 address.

The value cannot include a prefix or /prefixLength notation. The address cannot be used elsewhere in the network port configuration. All addresses share a single gateway.

reset-link

Optional. Returns network port addressing to the default settings. This parameter runs only on the local controller and cannot run with any other parameter. Allow up to two minutes for the operation to complete.

Examples For controller A, enable autoconfig and set the gateway address.

# set ipv6-network-parameters autoconfig enabled controller a gateway 001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:1111
