ipv6 address
Syntax
ipv6 address <IPV6-ADDR>/<MASK>
no ipv6 address <IPV6-ADDR>/<MASK>
Description
Sets an IPv6 address on the interface. Configure the interface as layer 3 using the
routing
command.
The
no
form of this command removes the IPv6 address on the interface.
Command context
config-if
Parameters
<IPV6-ADDR>
Specifies the IP address in IPv6 format (
xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
), wherex
is a hexadecimal number from 0 to F. You can use two colons (::) to represent consecutive zeros (but only once), remove leading zeros, and collapse a hextet of four zeros to a single 0. For example, this address2222:0000:3333:0000:0000:0000:4444:0055
becomes2222:0:3333::4444:55
.<MASK>
Specifies the number of bits in the address mask in CIDR format (
x
), wherex
is a decimal number from 0 to 128.

Examples
Setting the IPv6 address on interface 1/1/1 to 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334 with a mask of 24 bits:
switch(config)# interface 1/1/1 switch(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334/24
Removing the IP address 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334 with mask of 24 bits on interface 1/1/1:
switch(config)# interface 1/1/1 switch(config-if)# no ipv6 address 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334/24
