Configuring IPv6 Addresses

You can configure IPv6 addresses for the management interface,VLANVirtual Local Area Network. In computer networking, a single Layer 2 network may be partitioned to create multiple distinct broadcast domains, which are mutually isolated so that packets can only pass between them through one or more routers; such a domain is referred to as a Virtual Local Area Network, Virtual LAN, or VLAN.interface, and the loopback interface of theMobility Masterandmanaged device. Up to three IPv6 addresses can be configured for eachVLANVirtual Local Area Network. In computer networking, a single Layer 2 network may be partitioned to create multiple distinct broadcast domains, which are mutually isolated so that packets can only pass between them through one or more routers; such a domain is referred to as a Virtual Local Area Network, Virtual LAN, or VLAN.interface. The IPv6 address configured on the loopback interface or the firstVLANVirtual Local Area Network. In computer networking, a single Layer 2 network may be partitioned to create multiple distinct broadcast domains, which are mutually isolated so that packets can only pass between them through one or more routers; such a domain is referred to as a Virtual Local Area Network, Virtual LAN, or VLAN.interface becomes the default IPv6 address of the device.

If only one IPv6 address is configured on themanaged device, it becomes the default IPv6 address of themanaged device. With this release ofArubaOS, you can delete this IPv6 address.

As per Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), amanaged devicesupports IPv6 addresses beyond the following ranges:

Global unicast—2000::/3

Unique local unicast—fc00::/7

Link local unicast—fe80::/10

The following procedure describes how to configure link local address.

1.In theManaged Networknode hierarchy, navigate to theConfiguration > Interfaces>VLANstab.

2.Select aVlanVirtual Local Area Network. In computer networking, a single Layer 2 network may be partitioned to create multiple distinct broadcast domains, which are mutually isolated so that packets can only pass between them through one or more routers; such a domain is referred to as a Virtual Local Area Network, Virtual LAN, or VLAN.from theVLANstable.

3.Select the correspondingVlanVirtual Local Area Network. In computer networking, a single Layer 2 network may be partitioned to create multiple distinct broadcast domains, which are mutually isolated so that packets can only pass between them through one or more routers; such a domain is referred to as a Virtual Local Area Network, Virtual LAN, or VLAN.Id from theVLANS table.

4.Select theIPv6tab and expand theIP Address Assignmentaccordion.

5.EnableUse Static addresses. IPV6 addressestable appears.

6.Click+in IPV6 addresses.

7.In theAdd New IPV6 addressespop-up, selectLink-localforAddress Type.Enter theIPV6 addressand select theUse EUI-64 Format复选框,如果applicable. ClickOK.

8.ClickSubmit.

9.ClickPending Changes.

10.In thePending Changeswindow, select the check box and clickDeploy changes.

The following procedure describes how to configure global unicast address.

1.Select aVLANVirtual Local Area Network. In computer networking, a single Layer 2 network may be partitioned to create multiple distinct broadcast domains, which are mutually isolated so that packets can only pass between them through one or more routers; such a domain is referred to as a Virtual Local Area Network, Virtual LAN, or VLAN.from theVLANstable.

2.Select the correspondingVLANVirtual Local Area Network.

9.In thePending Changeswindow, select the check box and clickDeploy changes.

The following procedure describes how to configure loopback interface address.

1.In theManaged Networknode hierarchy, navigate to theConfiguration > System>Generaltab.

2.SelectLoopback Interfaceaccordion and enter the loopback address in theIPv6 addressfield.

3.ClickSubmit.
