RE: IPv6 enable command

Hello Max,

AFAIK in older software versions you had to use both commands.
Now I think if you have to configure an explicit IPv6 address on an interface, you do not need ipv6 enable.

Subject: IPv6 enable command

Hi ALL !

I have next question about configuration IPv6:
When I make ipv6 configuration on the interface I need enter ipv6 address and ipv6 enable commands or enough only ipv6 address and it will not mistake on the lab ?

Because as I read using ipv6 enable command:
... To enable IPv6 processing on an interface that has not been configured with an explicit IPv6 address ....

... The ipv6 enable command automatically configures an IPv6 link-local unicast address on the interface while also enabling the interface for IPv6 processing ...

But also there are link with opposite configuration:

(http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps5187/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a00801d660d.html)

Defining an OSPF for IPv6 Area Range: Example The following example specifies an OSPF for IPv6 area range:

interface Ethernet7/0

 ipv6 address 2001:0DB8:0:0:7::/64 eui-64
 ipv6 enable
 ipv6 ospf 1 area 1

interface Ethernet8/0
 ipv6 address 2001:0DB8:0:0:8::/64 eui-64
 ipv6 enable
 ipv6 ospf 1 area 1

interface Ethernet9/0
 ipv6 address 2001:0DB8:0:0:9::/64 eui-64
 ipv6 enable
 ipv6 ospf 1 area 1

 So, if I have explicit ipv6 address, WHICH VARIANT WILL BE CORRECT ON THE LAB ?

 Thank you.
 Max.
