Configuring IPv6 IPv6 EMP Interface
OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Network Configuration Guide December 2017 page 17-29
IPv6 EMP Interface
IPv6 EMP interface is an IPv6 interface associated with the physical EMP port.
Only one global unicast address can be assigned to an IPv6 EMP interface. Link-local addresses will be
assigned when the interface is first enabled and updated with IPv4 EMP address. If the switch has an EMP
port even without the global unique IPv6 address configuration, IPv6 EMP interface shall be created and
assigned with the link local address created using the MAC address of the EMP port. Since Duplicate
Address Detection (DAD) is disabled on the EMP interface, it is required to configure an unique IPv6
Address that does not conflict with any other IPv6 interface configured in the system.
Only one EMP IPv6 interface may be created per switch in the default VRF. IPv6 EMP address can be
added or modified using modify boot parameters command. EMP interface is externally reachable
through the EMP port after reload.
If an IPv6 address is configured on the EMP port on a VC or chassis setup, ensure to configure the IPv6
address on all the VC elements or CMM.
Configure IPv6 EMP Interface
You must be on the system console to modify the system boot parameters. Use modify boot parameters
command to configure an IPv6 EMP interface. This enters the boot mode. IPv6 EMP interface parameters
like the unique IP address and mask, baudrate, priority, and so on can be configured after entering this
mode.
It is required to reload the switch for the modified interface configuration to come into effect.

'show' - Display the edit buffer
'commit boot' - Commit the changes to non volatile memory for future boots
'commit system' - Commit the changes to running system ONLY
Note: EMP changes will only take effect on a future boot
'exit' - Exit (quit)
The show command displays the existing configuration of EMP interface.
