Enable IPv6 Applications

CAUTION:

After IPv6 has been enabled in a blueprint, it cannot be disabled. Although, you could use Time Voyager to rollback to a revision before IPv6 was enabled.

Enabling support for IPv6 virtual networks on EVPN L2 deployments or L3 deployments adds resource requirements and device configurations. This includes IPv6 loopback addresses on leaf devices and spine devices, IPv6 addresses for MLAG SVI subnets and IPv6 addresses for leaf L3 peer links. The following caveats apply:

  • This feature does not include IPv6 support in the fabric.
  • IPv6 support is not available on non-EVPN L2 networks.
  • When IPv6 is enabled on EVPN L2 deployments, security policy functionality is not available.
  1. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Fabric Settings > Fabric Policy and click Modify Settings.
    Screenshot of network management interface showing Fabric Settings with MTU set to 9170, IPv6 disabled, and various route counts unlimited.
    The Modify Fabric Policy Settings dialog appears.
  2. In the Fabric Design section, click the toggle ON to enable IPv6 applications.
    Configuration interface for fabric policy settings with IPv6 Applications toggle set to OFF and Routing Zone Footprint Optimization enabled. Save Changes button is at the bottom.
  3. Click Save Changes.

Next Steps:

Assign the required IPv6 IP addresses. For more information about IPv6 configuration, see Virtual Networks.
