Enabling/Disabling IPv6 Support (ipv6-state)

You use the ipv6-state command 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

Parameters

Parameter

Description

on|off

on = Enable IPv6 support
off = Disable IPv6 support

To Enable IPv6 Support on a single Chassis system:

  1. Log into the 61000/41000 Security System.
  2. Run:
    > set ipv6-state on
  3. Run reboot -b all

    This reboots all SGMs.

  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:

    Run:
    > reboot -b <standby_chassis_name>

  4. When the reboot completes, run this command on the Active Chassis:

    > asg chassis_admin -c <active_chassis_id> down

    This causes to the Active Chassis to fail over to the Standby. The failover closes all active connections, which must be re-established.

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

    Run:
    > reboot -b <new_standby_chassis_name>
