ipv6 address prefix-number

Use ipv6 address prefix-number to specify an IPv6 prefix for an interface to automatically generate an IPv6 global unicast address and advertise the prefix.

Use undo ipv6 address prefix-number to restore the default.

Syntax

Parameters

prefix-number: Specifies an IPv6 prefix by its ID in the range of 1 to 1024. The specified IPv6 prefix can be manually configured or obtained through DHCPv6.

sub-prefix: Specifies the sub-prefix bit and host bit for the IPv6 global unicast address.

prefix-length: Specifies the sub-prefix length in the range of 1 to 128.

Usage guidelines

This command enables an interface to automatically generate an IPv6 global unicast address based on the specified IPv6 prefix, sub-prefix bit, and host bit.

An interface can generate only one IPv6 global unicast address based on the prefix specified by using the ipv6 address command. To configure the interface to generate a new IPv6 address, execute the undo ipv6 address command to delete the configuration, and then execute the ipv6 address command.

Examples

# Configure a static IPv6 prefix AAAA::/16 and assign ID 1 to the prefix. Configure VLAN-interface 100 to use this prefix to generate the IPv6 address AAAA:CCCC:DDDD::10/32 and advertise this prefix.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] ipv6 prefix 1 AAAA::/16
[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 100
[Sysname-Vlan-interface100] ipv6 address 1 BBBB:CCCC:DDDD::10/32

# Configure VLAN-interface 10 to obtain an IPv6 prefix through DHCPv6 and assign ID 2 to the obtained prefix. Configure VLAN-interface 100 to use the obtained prefix to generate the IPv6 address AAAA:CCCC:DDDD::10/32 and advertise the prefix.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 10
[Sysname-Vlan-interface10] ipv6 dhcp client pd 2 rapid-commit option-group 1
[Sysname-Vlan-interface10] quit
[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 100
[Sysname-Vlan-interface100] ipv6 address 2 BBBB:CCCC:DDDD::10/32
