How to enable IPv6 on my Aruba 2930F switches?

[jselph17]

Hello, everyone.

My workplace recently stood up a network and would like me to configure IPv6 to be used on the switches. I'm fairly new to networking, but everything has been working fine thus far. Right now we have several Aruba switches functioning as Layer 2 switches connected to a Layer 3 switch in the lab. I'm a bit confused on how to get our the switches to begin using IPv6 instead of IPv4. Do our DNS and DHCP servers have to be properly configured for those types of addresses before the switch changes will work?

I'm just a bit confused on where to start with this. If anyone could give me some guidance, I'd really appreciate it. I've looked at some manuals, but I'd really like more human interaction and dialogue with this.

Thank you!
