ArgumentTypeDescription
addresscomposite { , }

IPv6 address. Address can also be constructed from the pool if from-pool parameter is specified. For example if address is set to ::1/64 then address will be constructed as follows <prefix_from_pool>::1/64

from-poolenumName of the pool from which prefix will be taken to construct IPv6 address taking last part of the address from address property.
from-pool-policyenum (recommended | strict | without-acquire)

Specify how to acquire prefix from pool, if from-pool parameter is set.

  • recommended option will use address as a postfix and subnet-id, if subnet-id is provided.
  • strict will use address as a strict postfix.
  • without-acquire will not allocate a prefix from a pool and will allow other services to use the exact same prefix. The without-acquire option should be mainly used to create SLAAC address on a router which at the same time will be a DHCPv6 server providing addresses to client from the same subnet.
interface ( mandatory )iface_enumSpecifies the interface on which the IPv6 address is configured. You can select it from the pool of interfaces available on the router.
eui-64boolWhether to calculate EUI-64 address and use it as last 64 bits of the IPv6 address.
boolWhether to enable stateless address configuration. The prefix of that address is automatically advertised three times to hosts using ICMPv6 protocol. The option is set by default for addresses with prefix length 64. If address is removed or changed, then old prefix will be deprecated by automatically advertising the old prefix with lifetime set to 0s three times to hosts using ICMPv6 protocol.
no-dadboolIf enabled (yes) - disables Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) for IPv6 addresses on an interface. This can be useful in scenarios where you want to assign static IPv6 addresses to devices and avoid the delay caused by DAD.
boolIf newly created address is manual link-local address this setting allows to override dynamically created IPv6 link-local address.
Read-only ArgumentTypeDescription
actual-interfaceiface_enumActual interface on which address is set up. For example, if address was configured on ethernet interface and ethernet interface was added to bridge, then actual interface is bridge not ethernet.
vrfenumIndicates which VRF this IP address is associated with.
