API Guide

Usage
Information
An interface can have multiple IPv6 addresses. To configure an IPv6 address in addition to the link-local
address, use the ipv6 address ipv6-address/mask command and specify the complete 128-bit
IPv6 address. To configure a globally unique IPv6 address by entering only the network prefix and length,
use the ipv6 address ipv6-prefix/prefix-length eui-64 command.
The no version of this command removes the IPv6 address on the interface.
NOTE: Dell EMC Networking does not recommend configuring both a static IPv6 address and
DHCPv6 on the same interface.
Example
OS10(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/1)# ipv6 address 2111:dddd:0eee::22/64
Supported
Releases
10.3.0E or later
ipv6 address autoconfig
Acquires global IPv6 addresses by using the network prefix obtained from RAs.
Syntax
ipv6 address autoconfig
Parameters None
Defaults Disabled except on the management interface
Command Mode INTERFACE
Usage
Information
● This command sets an interface in Host mode to perform IPv6 stateless auto-configuration by
discovering prefixes on local links, and adding an EUI-64 based interface identifier to generate each
IPv6 address. The command disables IPv6 forwarding. Addresses are configured depending on the
prefixes received in RA messages.
● The no version of this command disables IPv6 address autoconfiguration, resets the interface in
Router mode, and re-enables IPv6 forwarding.
Example
OS10(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/1)# no switchport
OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/1)# ipv6 address autoconfig
OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/1)#
Supported
Releases
10.3.0E or later
ipv6 address dhcp
Enables DHCP client operations on the interface.
Syntax
ipv6 address dhcp
Parameters None
Defaults None
Command Mode INTERFACE
Usage
Information
The no version of this command disables DHCP operations on the interface.
NOTE: Dell EMC Networking does not recommend configuring both a static IPv6 address and
DHCPv6 on the same interface.
Example
OS10(config)# interface mgmt 1/1/1
OS10(conf-if-ma-1/1/1)# ipv6 address dhcp
