IPv6 routing overview

The switches covered by this guide support these IPv6 routing features:

IPv6 Static Routing
IPv6 Router Advertisements (RAs)
DHCPv6-Relay

NOTE:

To use the switch in IPv6 host-only mode in an IPv6 routing environment or for information on configuring IPv6 addresses, see:

Enabling autoconfiguration of a global unicast address and a default router identity on a VLAN
Router access and default router selection

In the context of the routing operation supported on the switches, the switches are referred to as routing switches.

Routing topics and terminology in this chapter refer to IPv6 routing only. For information on IPv4 routing, see the latest ArubaOS-Switch Multicast and Routing Guide for your routing switch.
