IPv6 routing

[Stefan Claesson]

I'm about to enable IPv6 routing in a 5400 switch with K.15.xx image. Does anyone know if enabling of IPv6 routing requires reboot of switch?

Please note that K.15.xx is an early availability release and has issues and not recommedend in live networks, this is intended for testing the new features.

Enabling IPv6 and OSPFv3 and DHCPv6 relay services does not require a switch reload.

However, you will be required to reload the switch the after uploading the K.15 code, as it also needs to do a bootrom update.

So upload K.15, reload switch (it will reload 2 times), then you can enable IPv6 and its associated features/functions.

FYI, if you want a dynamic routing protocol for IPv6, you'll need to also enable RIPng or OPSFv3 for each IPv6 interface.
