To enable IPv6 functionality on a RUCKUS ICX switch, you must activate IPv6 unicast routing globally. This allows the switch to forward IPv6 packets and participate in IPv6 routing.

Steps to Enable IPv6 Unicast Routing:

Access the Switch's Command-Line Interface (CLI):

Connect to the switch via console, SSH, or Telnet.

Enter privileged EXEC mode:

plaintext

Copy code

enable

Enter Global Configuration Mode:

Switch to global configuration mode:

plaintext

Copy code

configure terminal

Enable IPv6 Unicast Routing:

Activate IPv6 unicast routing:

ipv6 unicast-routing

Configure IPv6 Addresses on Interfaces (Optional):

Assign IPv6 addresses to the desired interfaces:

interface ethernet 1/1/1

ipv6 address 2001:db8::1/64

Verify the Configuration:

Exit to privileged EXEC mode and display the running configuration to confirm:

end

show running-config

References:

For detailed information on configuring IPv6 addresses, refer to the RUCKUS FastIron Layer 3 Routing Configuration Guide: Configuring a global or site-local IPv6 address with a manually configured interface ID

By following these steps, you enable the switch to handle IPv6 traffic, facilitating IPv6 communication within your network.
