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. 

How to do it...

We will add another subnet to TenantA. This time, it will be an IPv6 subnet.

  2. Click on Actions and select Create Subnet.

 

 

  1. Enter the IPv6 address and subnet mask.
  1. Click on SUBMIT.

apic1# sh run tenant TenantA
# Command: show running-config tenant TenantA
 tenant TenantA
   vrf context TenantA_VRF
