Hey Mariusz,
Even if "ipv6 enable" doesn't do any harm, is there any point to using this
command?
The way I see it, there's no point to enabling ipv6 on an interface without
assigning an ipv6 address to the interface in one of the several ways
possible.
What I'm hoping to find out is if there's a general type of scenario where
this command needs to be used without an ipv6 address actually assigned.
The only possible scenario I can think of is if you want to test the
stateless auto-config feature of ipv6 to make the router behave like a ipv6
host.
But, I can't think of any other scenario where just enabling ipv6 on an
interface would accomplish anything.
Do you know of any?
TIA, Tim

Tim,
ipv6 enable doesn't do any harm if connected with ipv6 addr , ipv6
address already enables ipv6 on the int , so you just overrides it.

Subject: interface command - ipv6 enable
Hi guys,
Can anybody provide an example and explanation of when it would necessary to
use the above command instead of assigning an actually ipv6 address?
Also, I came across an example config like this:
int tun 123
ipv6 enable
ipv6 address FEC0::/64 eui-64
Personally, I think this is WRONG. I don't think both assigning an ipv6
address and enabling ipv6 on the interface is correct and a correct config
would only have one or the other. Can anyone confirm this?
Please bear with me as I get up to speed with ipv6. I hope these ipv6
questions aren't dumb but if there are please let me know why.
TIA, Tim
