IPv6 Prefix Delegation Support on ICX Switches

george_metz — Sun, 20 Jan 2019 06:22:07 GMT

Greetings! I'm in the process of setting up IPv6 in a dynamic environment, and I am wanting to be certain that I'm not missing something.

From what I can tell, it is NOT possible to configure an ICX 6450 to use a delegated prefix for IPv6 interfaces. Is this correct? If so, how would you recommend handling a dynamic prefix situation? There's no guarantee that the prefix assigned won't get changed on a regular basis, so static assignments based on the PD would be inadvisable.

Thanks!

You get to feel hip and with it.

There are no practical benefits.

I’ve avoided it for 30 years now. No issues. No practical problems.

IPv6 has no killer app. Delegation
