Otherwise, an interface cannotforward IPv6 packets even if it has an IPv6 address configured.Follow these steps to Enable IPv6:To do... Use the command... RemarksEnter system view system-view —Enable IPv6 ipv6 RequiredDisabled by default.Configuring an IPv6 Unicast AddressIPv6 site-local addresses and aggregatable global unicast addresses can be configured in the followingways:z EUI-64 format: When the EUI-64 format is adopted, the IPv6 address prefix of an interface is theconfigured prefix, and the interface identifier is derived from the link-layer address of the interface.z Manual configuration: IPv6 site-local addresses or aggregatable global unicast addresses areconfigured manually.IPv6 link-local addresses can be configured 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::/10) and the link-layer address of the interface.
