35.2.3 Manually Configuring Link-Local Addresses

Points to note

The Switch automatically generates a link-local address when you execute the ipv6 enable configuration command. Each interface can have one link-local address, which, if you prefer, can be set manually.

Command examples

1. (config)# interface vlan 100

   Switches to interface configuration mode for VLAN ID 100.

2. (config-if)# ipv6 enable

   Enables the use of an IPv6 address for VLAN ID 100. At this time, a link-local address is automatically generated.

3. (config-if)# ipv6 address fe80::1 link-local

   Changes the link-local address automatically set for VLAN ID 100 to fe80::1.
