Configuring Next Hop Forwarding at IP Pool Through IPAM Profile for IPv6 Addresses

To configure the IPv6 address with the next hop configuration for IPv6 pools and address ranges, use the following sample configuration:

configure 
   ipam
      instance instance_id 
         address-pool pool_name 
            ipv6 
            address-ranges 
               address-range start_ipv6_address end_ipv6_address nexthop-forwarding-address nexthop_forwarding_address 
               prefix-range prefix_value length prefix_length nexthop-forwarding-address nexthop_forwarding_address 
                 split-size per-cache number_of_addresses 
                 split-size per-dp number_of_addresses 
                 exit  
                 prefix-range prefix_value length prefix_length nexthop-forwarding-address nexthop_forwarding_address 
               commit 

NOTES:

  • address-pool pool_name : Specify the name of the address pool. pool_name must be a string.

  • ipv6 : Enter the IPv6 mode of the pool.

  • address-ranges : Specify the IPv6 address ranges and prefix range addresses with the next hop forwarding address.

    Note
    IANA IPv6 configuration is used by BNG.
    • address-range start_ipv6_address end_ipv6_address : Specify the starting and the ending addresses of the IPv6 address range.

    • nexthop-forwarding-address nexthop_forwarding_address : Specify the next hop forwarding address.

    • prefix-range prefix_value length prefix_length : Specify the prefix value and length within the IPv6 address.

    • nexthop-forwarding-address nexthop_forwarding_address : Specify the next hop forwarding address.

  • prefix-ranges : Specify the prefix ranges of an IPv6 address.

    Note
    SMF supports only IAPD IPv6 configuration.
    • split-size per-cache number_of_addresses : Specify the number of IPv6 addresses per chunk for IPAM cache allocation.

    • split-size-per-dp number_of_addresses : Specify the number of IPv6 addresses per chunk for the data plane allocation.

    • prefix-range prefix_value length prefix_length nexthop-forwarding-address nexthop_forwardng_address : Specify the prefix value and the length within the IPv6 address with the next hop forwarding address.
