27.3 ipv6 address autoconfig
Use the ipv6 address autoconfig command in Interface Configuration mode to
enable automatic configuration of IPv6 addresses using stateless auto
configuration on an interface and enable IPv6 processing on the interface.
Addresses are configured depending on the prefixes received in Router
Advertisement messages. To disable automatic configuration of IPv6 addresses
and to remove the automatically configured address from the interface, use the no
form of this command.
Syntax
ipv6 address autoconfig
no ipv6 address autoconfig
Parameters
N/A.
Default Configuration
Stateless Auto configuration is enabled.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration mode
User Guidelines
This command enables IPv6 on an interface (if it was disabled) and causes the
switch to perform IPv6 stateless address auto-configuration to discover prefixes
on the link and then to add the eui-64 based addresses to the interface.
Stateless auto configuration is applied only when IPv6 Forwarding is disabled.
When IPv6 forwarding is changed from disabled to enabled, and stateless auto
configuration is enabled the switch stops stateless auto configuration and
removes all stateless auto configured ipv6 addresses from all interfaces.
When IPv6 forwarding is changed from enabled to disabled and stateless auto
configuration is enabled the switch resumes stateless auto configuration.
Using the no form of the ipv6 address command without arguments removes all
manually-configured IPv6 addresses from an interface, including link local
manually-configured addresses.
