Enabling/Disabling IPv6 Support (ipv6-state)

Use ipv6-state to:

• Enable IPv6 support for the all SGMs in the 61000/41000 Security System.
• Disable IPv6 support for the all SGMs in the 61000/41000 Security System.
• Show the IPv6 support status for all SGMs in the 61000/41000 Security System.

To complete the configuration you must reboot all SGMs at the same time. If you have a Chassis High Availability environment, you can enable IPv6 and reboot the SGMs one Chassis at a time. This feature makes it possible for network traffic to continue during configuration procedure.

Syntax

> set ipv6-state on|off

> show ipv6-state

To Enable IPv6 Support on a Single Chassis system:

1. Log into the 61000/41000 Security System.
2. Run:

   > set ipv6-state on

3. Reboot all SGMs:

   > reboot -b all

4. Do the instructions on the screen.
5. Run:

   > show ipv6-state

   Make sure that IPv6 is enabled for all SGMs.

To Enable IPv6 on a Dual Chassis System:

This procedure lets you reboot one Chassis at a time to prevent unnecessary downtime.

1. Log into the 61000/41000 Security System.
2. Run:

   > set ipv6-state on

3. Reboot all SGMs on the Standby Chassis:

   > reboot -b <standby_chassis_name>

4. When the reboot completes, fail over to the Standby Chassis:

   > asg chassis_admin -c <active_chassis_id> down

   The failover closes all active connections, which must be re-established.

5. Reboot all SGMs on the newly designated Standby Chassis:

   > reboot -b <new_standby_chassis_name>
