Example

switch (config interface mgmt0)# dhcp

Related Commands

show interfaces <ifname> configured

Notes

  • When enabling DHCP, the IP address and netmask are received via DHCP hence, the static IP address configuration is ignored

  • Enabling DHCP disables zeroconf and vice versa

  • Setting a static IP address and netmask does not disable DHCP. DHCP is disabled using the “no” form of this command, or by enabling zeroconf.

  • When static IP is configured, DHCP will not run.

History

3.5.1000

Example

switch (config interface mgmt0)# dhcp hostname

Related Commands

hostname <hostname>
show interfaces <ifname> configured

Notes

  • If a hostname is configured manually by the user, that configuration would override the “dhcp hostname” configuration

  • When a default hostname is not configured, the DHCP server assigns the new hostname for your machine (after upgrading to version 3.5.1000)

  • These commands do not work on in-band interfaces

Configuration Mode

config interface management

History

3.1.0000

Example

switch (config interface mgmt0)# ipv6 enable

Related Commands

ipv6 address
show interface <ifname>

Notes

  • The interface identifier is a 64-bit long modified EUI-64, which is based on the MAC address of the interface

  • If IPv6 is enabled on an interface, the system will automatically add a link-local address to the interface. Link-local addresses can only be used to communicate with other hosts on the same link, and packets with link-local addresses are never forwarded by a router.

  • A link-local address, which may not be removed, is required for proper IPv6 operation. The link-local addresses start with “fe80::”, and are combined with the interface identifier to form the complete address.

ipv6 address

ipv6 address {<IPv6 address/netmask> | autoconfig [default | privacy]}
no ipv6 {<IPv6 address/netmask> | autoconfig [default | privacy]}

Configures IPv6 address and netmask to this interface, static or autoconfig options are possible.
The no form of the command removes the given IPv6 address and netmask or disables the autoconfig options.

Syntax Description

IPv6 address/netmask

Configures a static IPv6 address and netmask.

Format example: 2001:db8:1234::5678/64.

autoconfig

Enables IPv6 stateless address auto configuration (SLAAC) for this interface. An address will be automatically added to the interface based on an IPv6 prefix learned from router advertisements, combined with an interface identifier.

autoconfig default

Enables default learning routes. The default route will be discovered automatically, if the autoconfig is enabled.

autoconfig privacy

Uses privacy extensions for SLAAC to construct the autoconfig address, if the autoconfig is enabled.

Default

No IP address available, auto config is enabled

Configuration Mode

Example

switch (config interface mgmt0)# ipv6 fe80::202:c9ff:fe5e:a5d8/64

Related Commands

Notes

  • On a given interface, up to 16 addresses can be configured

  • For Ethernet, the default interface identifier is a 64-bit long modified EUI-64, which is based on the MAC address of the interface

switch (config)# ipv6 neighbor 2001:db8:701f::8f9 mgmt0 00:11:22:33:44:55

Related Commands

show ipv6 neighbor
ipv6 route
arp
clear ipv6 neighbors

Notes

  • ARP is used only with IPv4. In IPv6 networks, Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) is used similarly.

  • Use The no form of the command to remove static entries. Dynamic entries can be cleared via the “clear ipv6 neighbors” command.

clear ipv6 neighbors

clear ipv6 neighbors{ethernet <port> | vlan <vlan-id> | port-channel <id> | vrf <vrf-id>} [<ip-addr>]

Clears the dynamic neighbors cache.

ip dhcp

ip dhcp {default-gateway yield-to-static | hostname <hostname>| primary-intf <ifname> | send-hostname}
no ip dhcp {default-gateway yield-to-static| hostname | | primary-intf | send-hostname}

Sets global DHCP configuration.
The no form of the command deletes the DHCP configuration.

Syntax Description

yield-to-static

Does not allow you to install a default gateway from DHCP if there is already a statically configured one.

hostname

Specifies the hostname to be sent during DHCP client negotiation if send-hostname is enabled.

primary-intf <ifname>

Sets the interface from which a non-interface-specific configuration (resolver and routes) will be accepted via DHCP.
Default: "primary-intf mgmt0"

send-hostname

Enables the DHCP client to send a hostname during negotiation.

Default

Disabled

traceroute

Traces the route packets take to a destination.

Syntax Description

-4

Uses IPv4

-6

Uses IPv6

-d

Enables socket level debugging

-F

Sets DF (do not fragment bit) on

-I

Uses ICMP ECHO for tracerouting

-T

Uses TCP SYN for tracerouting

-U

Uses UDP datagram (default) for tracerouting

-n

Does not resolve IP addresses to their domain names

-r

Bypasses the normal routing and send directly to a host on an attached network

-A

Performs AS path lookups in routing registries and print results directly after the corresponding addresses

-V

Prints version info and exit

-f

Starts from the first_ttl hop (instead from 1)

-g

Routes packets through the specified gateway (maximum 8 for IPv4 and 127 for IPv6)

-i

Specifies a network interface with which to operate

-m

Sets the max number of hops (max TTL to be reached). Default is 30.

-N

Sets the number of probes to be tried simultaneously (default is 16)

-p

Uses destination port. It is an initial value for the UDP destination port (incremented by each probe, default is 33434), for the ICMP seq number (incremented as well, default from 1), and the constant destination port for TCP tries (default is 80).

-t

Sets the TOS (IPv4 type of service) or TC (IPv6 traffic class) value for outgoing packets

-l

Uses specified flow_label for IPv6 packets

-w

Sets the number of seconds to wait for response to a probe (default is 5.0). Non-integer (float point) values allowed too.

-s

Uses source src_addr for outgoing packets.

-q

Sets the number of probes per each hop. Default is 3.

-z

Sets minimal time interval between probes (default is 0). If the value is more than 10, then it specifies a number in milliseconds, else it is a number of seconds (float point values allowed too).
