IPv6 Addressing

In this section:

  1. IPv6 Addressing Overview
  2. Full Layer 3 IPv6 Feature Support
  3. IPv6 CLI Command Support
  4. IPv6 Host Address on a Layer 2 Switch
  5. Configuring the management port for an IPv6 automatic address configuration
  6. Configuring Basic IPv6 Connectivity on a Layer 3 Switch
  7. IPv6 Over IPv4 Tunnels
    To enable communication between isolated IPv6 domains using the IPv4 infrastructure, you can manually configure IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels that provide static point-point connectivity.
  8. IPv6 Management
  9. IPv6 ICMP Feature Configuration
  10. IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Configuration
  11. IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Proxy
    IPv6 Neighbor Discovery(ND) Proxy enables the hosts in different broadcast domains or VLANs to communicate with each other.
  12. IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Inspection
    IPv6 neighbor discovery (ND) inspection is an internal network security system that detects and prevents IPv6 address spoofing at the switch level.
  13. IPv6 MTU
    The IPv6 maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the maximum length of an IPv6 packet that can be transmitted on a particular interface. If an IPv6 packet is longer than an MTU, the host that originated the packet fragments the packet and transmits its contents in multiple packets that are shorter than the configured MTU.
  14. Configuring IPv6 Extension Header Option Type Filters
    IPv6 extension headers must be configured to drop packets with headers that are not recognized. In addition, the type-length-value (TLV) formatting provides the ability for headers to be very large. It is not recommended to allow extension headers with an unknown option type value into or out of the network. Various drop rules can be configured so that packets are dropped if certain condtions are not met.
  15. 127-Bit Subnet Masks on Point-to-Point Networks
  16. Static Neighbor Entries Configuration
  17. Limiting the number of hops an IPv6 packet can traverse
    You can change the maximum number of hops an IPv6 packet can traverse from the default of 64.
  18. IPv6 source routing security enhancements
  19. TCAM Space Configuration
    RUCKUS devices store routing information for IPv4 and IPv6 routing in the same ternary content-addressable memory (TCAM) table.
  20. Displaying IPv6 Global Information
    After configuring and enabling IPv6 in your network, you can use various show commands to view IPv6 information.
  21. Displaying the IPv6 Local Router Information
    A device can function as an IPv6 host, instead of an IPv6 router, if you configure IPv6 addresses on its interfaces but do not enable IPv6 routing using the ipv6 unicast-routing command.
  22. Clearing Global IPv6 Information
