Parameters

vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies an MPLS L3VPN instance to which the specified address belongs. The vpn-instance-name argument represents the VPN instance name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. If you do not specify a VPN instance, the ipv6-address argument specifies an IPv6 address on the public network. The specified VPN instance must already exist.

ipv6-address: Specifies an IPv6 address.

Usage guidelines

It is a good practice to specify the IPv6 address of the loopback interface as the source IPv6 address for outgoing ping echo request and ICMPv6 error messages. This feature helps users to easily locate the sending device.

Examples

# Specify IPv6 address 1::1 as the source address for outgoing ICMPv6 packets.
