Function

The sta-ipv6-service enable command enables the function of processing STA IPv6 services.

The undo sta-ipv6-service enable command disables the function of processing STA IPv6 services.

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

Parameters

None

Views

WLAN view

Default Level

2: Configuration level

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

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 IPv6 packets of STAs.

Precautions

The function of processing STA IPv6 services takes effect only when the following conditions are met:

In tunnel forwarding mode, the device does not function as an IPv6 gateway. This condition is not required in direct forwarding mode.
The security policy is open authentication.

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.

Running the ipv6 enable command in the interface view only enables the IPv6 function on the wired-side interface. The command cannot enable the WLAN module to process STA IPv6 services. To enable the WLAN module to process IPv6 services of STAs, you need to run the sta-ipv6-service enable command in the WLAN view.

Example

# Enable the function of processing STA IPv6 services.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] wlan
[HUAWEI-wlan-view] sta-ipv6-service enable
