IPv6 is becoming a priority, due the exhaustion of the IPv4 address space, technologies like 5G, cloud, Internet of things (IoT) require its use, governments and standard bodies demand it, and the device/network/content communication value chain are calling for its adoption.
It is assumed the reader has knowledge of IPv6 fundamentals and now requires guidance on deploying IPv6 on AOS-CX switches.
The IPv6 commands and features described in this document can be used in a native IPv6 network or in a dual stack IPv4/IPv6 network.
This guide covers the following IPv6 related features:
• DHCPv6 and DNSv6 resolution on an AOS-CX switch
• OSPFv3
• RIPng
• MP-BGP
• Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) IPv6 Active Gateways
• Client IPv6 address assignment using Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) and DHCPv6
