The switch running the IP services image supports Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol 
(EIGRP) for IPv6. It is configured on the interfaces on which it runs and does not require a global IPv6 
address.

Before running, an instance of EIGRP IPv6 requires an implicit or explicit router ID. An implicit router 
ID is derived from a local IPv4 address, so any IPv4 node always has an available router ID. However, 
EIGRP IPv6 might be running in a network with only IPv6 nodes and therefore might not have an 
available IPv4 router ID. 

For more information about EIGRP for IPv6, see the “Implementing EIGRP for IPv6” chapter in the 
Cisco IOS IPv6 Configuration Library on Cisco.com. 

The switch running the IP services image supports the Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) for IPv6. 
HSRP provides routing redundancy for routing IPv6 traffic not dependent on the availability of any 
single router. IPv6 hosts learn of available routers through IPv6 neighbor discovery router advertisement 
messages. These messages are multicast periodically or are solicited by hosts.

An HSRP IPv6 group has a virtual MAC address that is derived from the HSRP group number and a 
virtual IPv6 link-local address that is, by default, derived from the HSRP virtual MAC address. Periodic 
messages are sent for the HSRP virtual IPv6 link-local address when the HSRP group is active. These 
messages stop after a final one is sent when the group leaves the active state.

For more information about configuring HSRP for IPv6, see the “Configuring First Hop Redundancy 
Protocols in IPv6” chapter in the Cisco IOS IPv6 Configuration Library on Cisco.com.

To support both IPv4 and IPv6, IPv6 network management requires both IPv6 and IPv4 transports. 
Syslog over IPv6 supports address data types for these transports. 

SNMP and syslog over IPv6 provide these features:

Support for both IPv4 and IPv6

IPv6 transport for SNMP and to modify the SNMP agent to support traps for an IPv6 host

SNMP- and syslog-related MIBs to support IPv6 addressing

Configuration of IPv6 hosts as trap receivers

For support over IPv6, SNMP modifies the existing IP transport mapping to simultaneously support IPv4 
and IPv6. These SNMP actions support IPv6 transport management:

Opens User Datagram Protocol (UDP) SNMP socket with default settings

Provides a new transport mechanism called SR_IPV6_TRANSPORT

Sends SNMP notifications over IPv6 transport

Supports SNMP-named access lists for IPv6 transport

Supports SNMP proxy forwarding using IPv6 transport

Verifies SNMP Manager feature works with IPv6 transport

For information on SNMP over IPv6, including configuration procedures, see the “Managing Cisco IOS 
Applications over IPv6” chapter in the Cisco IOS IPv6 Configuration Library on Cisco.com.
