IPv6 address on VLAN error

IPv6 address on VLAN error

Getting error while trying to assign IPv6 interface to a vlan. IPv6 forwarding is already enabled on the VLAN, along with port tagging.

Getting error as below:-

%% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
%% A number within the range of 1-4094 is expected.

In your first configuration, the IPv6 address was "fd01:976a:c200:6f1b:0:0:1::2/127". But in your second configuration, it was "fd01:976a:c200:6f1b:0:0:2:2/127".
The IPv6 address format should follow "xxxx:x/prefix" length, where
each x is the hexadecimal value of one of the 8 16-bit pieces of the 128-bit wide
address.
The address "fd01:976a:c200:6f1b:0:0:1::2/127" means over than 8 16-bit pieces of the 128-bit.

Hi All

Thanks for your help. I think I figured out what else is needed. Although I changed the IPv6 address to fd01:976a:c200:6f1b:0:0:1:2/127, it gave same error.

Then I tried adding the below to the VLAN and it seems to have fixed the issue.

"eui64 fe80::/64"

configure vlan ipaddress eui64 fe80::/64
configure vlan ipaddress fd01:976a:c200:6f1b:0:0:2:2/127

save

Your notation is wrong because fd01:976a:c200:6f1b:0:0:1::2/127, after specifying 8 groups you are trying to specify with (::) notation before last group 2. If you try the same with fd01:976a:c200:6f1b:0:0:1:2/127 notation without :: it will work.

Hi Sumanta,

Your IPv6 notation is wrong it is now too long:
ipaddress fd01:976a:c200:6f1b:0:0:1::2/127
should be ipaddress fd01:976a:c200:6f1b::1:2/127
