Configuring the IPv6 Address and MTU of an Interface

This section provides a sample of configuring the IPv6 address and MTU of an interface using the edit-config:merge method.

**Table 1** Configuring the IPv6 address and MTU of an interface
Operation	XPATH
edit-config:merge	/ietf-interfaces:interfaces/interface/ietf-ip:ipv6

Data Requirements

Item	Data	Description
Interface name	Vlanif100	Configure VLANIF 100.
Interface type	iana-if-type:propVirtual	Configure VLANIF 100.
IPv6 function on an interface	true	Enable the IPv6 function on the interface.
IPv6 MTU of an interface	1280	Set the IPv6 MTU of the interface to 1280 bytes.
IPv6 address of an interface	fc00::1	Set the IPv6 address of the interface to fc00::1.
Prefix length of an IPv6 address	64	Set the prefix length of the IPv6 address to 64.
Number of times neighbor solicitation (NS) packets are sent during duplicate address detection (DAD)	20	Set the number of times NS packets sent by the switch during DAD to 20.
