A host can be assigned a globalunicast address, a site-local address, or a link-local address.z To enable a host to access a public IPv6 network, you need to assign an IPv6 global unicastaddress to it.IPv6 site-local addresses and global unicast addresses can be configured in either of the followingways:z EUI-64 format: When the EUI-64 format is adopted to form IPv6 addresses, the IPv6 address prefixof an interface is the configured prefix and the interface identifier is derived from the link-layeraddress of the interface.z Manual configuration: IPv6 site-local addresses or global unicast addresses are configuredmanually.IPv6 link-local addresses can be acquired in either of the following ways:z Automatic generation: The device automatically generates a link-local address for an interfaceaccording to the link-local address prefix (FE80::/64) and the link-layer address of the interface.z Manual assignment: IPv6 link-local addresses can be assigned manually.Follow these steps to configure an IPv6 unicast address:To do...
