15.2.4 Configuring IPv6 Addressing for a Virtual Router

Points to note

Configure the virtual IPv6 address for a virtual router. This operation causes the virtual router to start running. A virtual router can have only one virtual IPv6 address.

If the virtual IP address configured for a virtual router is the same as the IP address assigned to a VLAN on which the virtual router is configured, the virtual router containing the VLAN is the IP address owner.The priority of this virtual router is fixed at 255.

The identifier of a virtual router with a virtual IP address must be unique in the IP subnetwork.

Command examples

1. (config)# interface vlan 50

   (config-if)# ipv6 enable

   (config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:100::1/64

   For example, to configure a virtual router on a VLAN 50, first enter VLAN configuration mode of vlan 50. Next, assign an IPv6 address to VLAN 50 if one has not been assigned already.

2. (config-if)# vrrp 3 ipv6 fe80::10

   Configures a virtual IPv6 address (fe80::10) for virtual router VRID 3.
