My environment: RH FC8 x86_64
1. Make sure the 802.1q module is added to the kernel
modprobe 8021q
2. Add a subinterface. In this example 170 is the 802.1q VLAN ID.
vconfig add eth0 170
3. Create the NIC configuration file
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.170
DEVICE=eth0.170
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=192.168.170.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
4. Restart the network service
/etc/init.d/network restart
You’ll need the proper SDM template to enable v4, v6 dual stack on 3560/3750/3560E/3750E
Switch(config) # sdm prefer dual-ipv4-and-ipv6 default
My environment: Cisco Catalyst 3560E

This is a handy feature provides quick and easy way to deploy prefix changes
Example:
ipv6 general-prefix DEV C0:A8:A::/48
int fa0/1
ipv6 addr DEV ::1/48
Your IPv6 address of fa0/1 is equal to C0:A8:A::1/48
My environment: RH FC8 x86_64
To enable IPv6 globally, modify the file
# vi /etc/sysconfig/network
And append the following:
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
Then change the NIC config file
# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
And append the following IPv6 parameters:
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6ADDR=<IPv6-IP-Address>
IPV6_DEFAULTGW=<IPv6-IP-Gateway-Address>
If you want to acquire the IPv6 address via DHCPv6 server, first make sure you have the DHCPv6 client installed:
# rpm –q dhcpv6-client
then modifiy the NIC config file and append the following parameters:
# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
IPV6INIT=yes
DHCPV6C=yes
Edit the main DHCPv6 client config file
# cp /usr/share/doc/dhcpv6-client-*/dhcp6c.conf /etc/
# vi /etc/dhcp6c.conf
interface eth0 {
send rapid-commit;
request domain-name-servers;
};
Restart the network service
# /etc/init.d/network restart
Then check your eth0 configuration to make sure you get the ipv6 address:
# ifconfig eth0

You can configure your Windows 2K3 server to listen over IPv6, what you need to do is to enable it through command prompt:
dnscmd /config /EnableIPv6 1
Then restart your DNS service.
To add an IPv6 host record, you’ll need to add an “AAAA” record instead of an “A” host record like you did in IPv4.
Right click on your domain name in the forward lookup zones, choose “Other New Records”
Add a new AAAA record:
To check if it is working, you can either using nslookup on Windows or dig on Linux:
dig -6 ad-v6.ucdemo.com @c0:a8:a::c8 AAAA
nslookup –q=AAAA ad-v6.ucdemo.com
My environment: Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition
There is no GUI for ipv6 static address configuration, you can configure it through the netsh CLI:
netsh interface ipv6 set privacy disabled
netsh interface ipv6 add address interface="Local Area Connection" address=2001:1:1::200 store=persistent
netsh interface ipv6 add route ::/0 interface="Local Area Connection" 2001:1:1::1 store=persistent
To verify:
ipconfig /all
ping 2001:1:1::1
netstat -rn
