IPv6 Routing Commands

This command has no default configuration. 

Privileged EXEC mode.

This command has no user guidelines.

The following example clears IPv6 statistics for VLAN 11.

console(config)#clear ipv6 statistics vlan 11

Use the ipv6 address command in Interface Configuration mode to configure 

an IPv6 address on an interface (including tunnel and loopback interfaces) 

and to enable IPv6 processing on this interface. Multiple globally reachable 

addresses can be assigned to an interface by using this command. There is no 

need to assign a link-local address by using this command since one is 

automatically created.   IPv6 addresses can be expressed in eight blocks. Also 

of note is that instead of a period, a colon separates each block. For 

simplification, leading zeros of each 16-bit block can be omitted. One 

sequence of 16-bit blocks containing only zeros can be replaced with a double 

colon “::”, but not more than one at a time (otherwise it is no longer a unique 

representation).
Dropping zeros: 3ffe:ffff:100:f101:0:0:0:1 becomes 3ffe:ffff:100:f101::1
Local host: 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001 becomes ::1
Any host: 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 becomes ::
The hexadecimal letters in the IPv6 addresses are not case-sensitive. An 

example of an IPv6 prefix and prefix length is 3ffe:1::1234/64.
