Shared IPv6 Interfaces

You can create multiple shared IPv6 interfaces over the same layer 2 logical interface.

Before you configure IPv6, you must create the lower-layer interfaces over which IPv6 traffic flows. You must configure an IPv6 license using the license ipv6 command before using the IPv6 routing protocol configuration commands on the E Series router. All IPv6 routing protocol configurations are removed from the virtual router when you issue the no ipv6 command.
