7.2 IPv6 protocol
SCALANCE XM-400/XR-500 Command Line Interface (CLI)
294 Configuration Manual, 11/2015, C79000-G8976-C252-10
With these commands, you assign an IPv6 address to the interface. The IPv6 address can
be assigned to the IP interface manually or by prefix delegation.
With prefix delegation, the IP interface becomes a DHCPv6 PD sub-client. This forms its
IPv6 address from the prefix name, the prefix and the prefix length.
● IPv6 is activated
● The interface is an IP interface.
● In DHCPv6 the stateless DHCPv6 autoconfiguration or prefix delegation is enabled.
● You are in the Interface configuration mode
The command prompt is as follows:
cli(config-if-$$)#
Call up the command with the following parameters:
ipv6 address <PD Name> <prefix> <prefix Len>
or
ipv6 address <prefix> <prefix Len> [{unicast | anycast | eui64}]
or
ipv6 address <ipv6prefix/prefix_length> [{unicast | anycast | eui-64| linklocal}]
The parameters have the following meaning:
Prefix Name
The PD router stores IPv6 prefix of the
DHCPv6 server under this name.
Enter the prefix name.
Requirement: Prefix delegation is ena-
IPv6 address Enter a valid IPv6 address
/prefix_length
Number of bits belonging to the prefix
(from left to right)
1 ... 128 bits
64: With EUI-64
128: The node (host) and with link-
Addressing mode anycast -
eui-64
Interface ID according to the EUI-64
