ipv6 address

Description

Sets the local IP address of an IPv6 to IPv4 tunnel. This address identifies the tunnel interface for routing. It must be on the same subnet as the tunnel address assigned on the remote device.

The no form of this command deletes the local IP address assigned to an IPv6 to IPv4 tunnel.

Command context

config-ip-if

Parameters

<IPV6-ADDR>

Specifies the tunnel IP address in IPv6 format (xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx), where x is a hexadecimal number from 0 to F. You can use two colons (::) to represent consecutive zeros (but only once), remove leading zeros, and collapse a sextet of four zeros to a single 0. For example, this address 2222:0000:3333:0000:0000:0000:4444:0055 becomes 2222:0:3333::4444:55.

<MASK>

Specifies the number of bits in the address mask in CIDR format (x), where x is a decimal number from 0 to 32.
