3. Run interface interface-type interface-number

   The view of the interface to be enabled with IPv6 is displayed.

4. Run ipv6 enable

   The IPv6 function is enabled on the interface.

   Before performing IPv6 configurations in the interface view, enable the IPv6 function in the interface view.

   By default, the IPv6 function is disabled on an interface.
