Using IPv6 within ACI
Implementing IPv6 is very simple compared to traditional IOS routers. It is so simple that Cisco has not even made any distinction between IPv4 addresses and IPv6 addresses in the GUI.Â
How to do it...
We will add another subnet to TenantA. This time, it will be an IPv6 subnet.
- Navigate to
TenantA
|Networking
|Bridge Domains
|TenantA-BD
|Subnets
. - Click on
Actions
and selectCreate Subnet
.
Â
Â
- Enter the IPv6 address and subnet mask.
- Click on
SUBMIT
.
How it works...
The new IPv6 subnet is added in the same way that we added IPv4 subnets.Â
As you will have noticed from the other recipes in this chapter, routing with IPv6 is treated no differently to IPv4 routing--there is no graphical distinction between the two.
If we switch to the command line, using the NX-OS CLI, we can see that the subnets are all configured in one area (just SSH to the APIC controller):
apic1# sh run tenant TenantA # Command: show running-config tenant TenantA tenant TenantA vrf context TenantA_VRF ...
