Example: Configuring IPv6 address and prefix acquisition
Network configuration
As shown in Figure 85, configure the switch to use DHCPv6 to obtain configuration parameters from the DHCPv6 server. The parameters include IPv6 address, IPv6 prefix, DNS server address, domain name suffix, SIP server address, and SIP server domain name.
Figure 85: Network diagram
Procedure
IMPORTANT: By default, interfaces on the device are disabled (in ADM or Administratively Down state). To have an interface operate, you must use the undo shutdown command to enable that interface. | ||
You must configure the DHCPv6 server before configuring the DHCPv6 client. For information about configuring the DHCPv6 server, see "Configuring the DHCPv6 server."
# Configure an IPv6 address for VLAN-interface 2 that is connected to the DHCPv6 server.

# Configure VLAN-interface 2 as a DHCPv6 client for IPv6 address and prefix acquisition. Specify IDs for the dynamic IPv6 prefix and dynamic DHCPv6 option group, and configure the client to support rapid address and prefix assignment.

Verifying the configuration
