An anycast address looks similar to a unicast address, because it is allocated from the unicast address space. If you assign an IPv6
unicast address to multiple interfaces, it is an anycast address. On the Brocade device, you configure an interface assigned an anycast
address to recognize the address as an anycast address.
For example, the following commands configure an anycast address on interface 1/2/1.
device(config)#int e 1/2/1
device(config-if-e1000-1/2/1)#ipv6 address 2001:DB8::/64 anycast
Syntax:
ipv6 address
ipv6-prefix
/
prefix-length
[
anycast
]
IPv6 anycast addresses are described in detail in RFC 1884. Refer to RFC 2461 for a description of how the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery
mechanism handles anycast addresses.
Configuring IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks
One situation in which you must configure a router to run both IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks is if it is deployed as an endpoint for an
IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel.
Each router interface that will send and receive both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic must be configured with an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address.
(An alternative to configuring a router interface with an IPv6 address is to explicitly enable IPv6 using the
ipv6 enable
command. For
more information about using this command, refer to
Configuring a link-local IPv6 address on an interface
on page 160.)
To configure a router interface to support both the IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks, use commands such as the following.
device(config)#ipv6 unicast-routing
device(config)#interface ethernet 1/3/1
device(config-if-e1000-1/3/1)#ip address 10.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
device(config-if-e1000-1/3/1)#ipv6 address 2001:DB8:12d:1300::/64 eui-64
These commands globally enable IPv6 routing and configure an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address for Ethernet interface 1/3/1.
Syntax:
[no] ipv6 unicast-routing
To disable IPv6 traffic globally on the router, enter the
no
form of this command.
Syntax:
ip address
ip-address
sub-net-mask
[
secondary
]
You must specify the ip-address parameter using 8-bit values in dotted decimal notation.
You can specify the sub-net-mask parameter in either dotted decimal notation or as a decimal value preceded by a slash mark (/).
The
secondary
keyword specifies that the configured address is a secondary IPv4 address.
To remove the IPv4 address from the interface, enter the
no
form of this command.
Syntax:
ipv6 address
ipv6-prefix
/
prefix-length
[
eui-64
]
This syntax specifies a global or site-local IPv6 address. For information about configuring a link-local IPv6 address, refer to
a link-local IPv6 address on an interface
on page 160.
You must specify the ipv6-prefix parameter in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.
You must specify the prefix-length parameter as a decimal value. A slash mark (/) must follow the ipv6-prefix parameter and precede the
prefix-length parameter.
The
eui-64
keyword configures the global address with an EUI-64 interface ID in the low-order 64 bits. The interface ID is automatically
constructed in IEEE EUI-64 format using the interface’s MAC address. If you do not specify the
eui-64
keyword, you must manually
configure the 64-bit interface ID as well as the 64-bit network prefix. For more information about manually configuring an interface ID,
refer to
Configuring a global or site-local IPv6 address on an interface
on page 159.
