Once the changes are made and when you are able to access the webUI of Clearpass, navigate to the following location and verify the updated IPv6 address.
Administration » Server Manager » Server Configuration >> Click on the server from the list. >> System tab will show you the updated IPv6 information as shown below.
We can also run # show ip command from the Clearpass command line to verify the same.
