Configuring the Device to Not Process STA IPv6 Services

Context

Currently, IPv4 WLANs are widely deployed. If many IPv6 packets exist on an IPv4 WLAN, the performance of the WLAN is affected, and the CPU processing capability of devices will also be degraded. To improve performance of a pure IPv4 network, you can configure devices on the network to not process STA IPv6 services. After the function of processing STA IPv6 services is disabled, the AC and APs do not process IPv6 packets of the wireless side.

After the function of processing STA IPv6 services is disabled:

  • The AC and APs do not process IPv6 packets of the wireless side.

  • You are not allowed to configure IPv6 functions on the wireless side.

  • IPv6 functions of the wireless side are disabled even if they are enabled in default settings.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run wlan

    The WLAN view is displayed.

  3. Run undo sta-ipv6-service enable

    The function of processing STA IPv6 services is disabled.

    By default, the function of processing STA IPv6 services is disabled.
