Function

The authentication ipv6-control enable command enables network admission control for IPv6 users.

The undo authentication ipv6-control enable command disables network admission control for IPv6 users.

By default, the network admission control function is disabled for IPv6 users.

On the S5720-HI, S5731-H, S5731S-H, S5731-S, S5731S-S, S5732-H, S6730-H, S6730S-H, S6730-S, S6730S-S, S5730-HI, S5735-L, S5735S-L, S5735S-L-M, S5735-S, S5735S-S, S5735-S-I, or S6720-HI that functions as the parent in an SVF system, the configuration of this command does not take effect and is delivered to ASs.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

By default, after NAC authentication is enabled on the device, IPv6 users can access the network without being authenticated in some scenarios. To ensure security, access right control can be enabled for IPv6 users, so that IPv6 users can access the network after being authenticated.

Precautions

The following table lists how different products process IPv6 packets for users in different authentication states.
