Usage Guidelines

You can configure a protocol-based VLAN as a broadcast domain for IPv6 traffic. When the Layer 3 switch receives an IPv6 multicast packet (a packet with 06 in the version field and 0xFF as the beginning of the destination address), the Layer 3 switch forwards the packet to all other ports.

The no form of the command disables the IPv6 protocol VLAN.

Examples

The following example configures the IPv6 protocol-based VLAN. 

device(config)# vlan 2
device(config-vlan-2)# ipv6-proto name V6
