- multicast (with prefix ff00::/8)
- link-local (with prefix fe80::/10)
- unique local addresses (with prefix fc00::/7)
- loopback (the address::1/128)
- unspecified (the address::/128)
- other (all other addresses, including the obsoleted site-local addresses, and RFC 4193 unique local addresses; they all are treated as global unicast).
Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| address (Address/Netmask; Default: ) | Ipv6 address. Allowed netmask range is 0..128. Address can also be constructed from the pool if from-pool property is specified. For example if address is set to ::1/64 then address will be constructed as follows <prefix_from_pool>::1/64 |
| advertise (yes | no; Default: no) | Whether to enable stateless address configuration. The prefix of that address is automatically advertised to hosts using ICMPv6 protocol. The option is set by default for addresses with prefix length 64. |
| comment comment (string; Default: ) | Descriptive name of an item |
| disabled (yes | no; Default: no) | Whether address is disabled or not. By default it is not disabled |
| eui-64 (yes | no; Default: no) | Whether to calculate EUI-64 address and use it as last 64 bits of the IPv6 address. |
| from-pool (string; Default: ) | Name of the pool from which prefix will be taken to construct IPv6 address taking last part of the address from address property. |
| no-dad (yes | no; Default: no) | If set indicates that address is anycast address and Duplicate Address Detection should not be performed. |
| interface (string; Default: ) | Name of an interface on which Ipv6 address is set. |
Read-only properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| actual-interface (string) | Actual interface on which address is set up. For example, if address was configured on ethernet interface and ethernet interface was added to bridge, then actual interface is bridge not ethernet. |
| dynamic (yes | no) | Whether address is dynamically created |
| global (yes | no) | Whether address is global |
| invalid (yes | no) | Whether address is invalid |
| link-local (yes | no) | Whether address is link local |
One difference between IPv6 and IPv4 addresses is that IPv6 automatically generates a link-local IPv6 address for each active interface that has IPv6 support.
