0    Enabling IPv6 on Cisco routers

To enable IPv6 on Cisco IOS:

Ø enable IPv6 unicast packet forwarding 

ipv6 unicast-routing

Ø enables IPv6 traffic forwarding

2  IPv6 address configuration

The ipv6 address command:

·        router#config t

·        router(config)#ipv6 unicast-routing

 

·        router(config)#interface fa0/0

 

·        router(config-if)#ipv6 address 2001:db8:c18:1::/64 eui-64

 

·        router(config-if)#no shut

 

·        router#show ipv6 interface fa0/0
