ipv6 address <global-unicast-address>

Syntax

ipv6 address <global-unicast-address>
no ipv6 address <global-unicast-address>

Description

Sets a global unicast address on the interface.

The no form of this command removes the global unicast address on the interface.

NOTE:

This command automatically creates an IPv6 link-local address on the interface. However, it does not add the ipv6 address link-local command to the running configuration. If you remove the IPv6 address, the link-local address is also removed. To maintain the link-local address, you must manually execute the ipv6 address link-local command.
