Dynamic Addressing for IPv6 LLAs

Configure link-local addresses dynamically.

  • All IPv6 interfaces must have an IPv6 LLA. Like IPv6 GUAs, LLAs can be configured dynamically.
  • The figure shows the LLA is dynamically created using the fe80::/10 prefix and the interface ID using the EUI-64 process, or a randomly generated 64-bit number.

Dynamic LLAs on Windows

Operating systems, such as Windows, will typically use the same method for both a SLAAC-created GUA and a dynamically assigned LLA.

  • EUI-64 Generated Interface ID:

  • Random 64-bit Generated Interface ID:

Dynamic LLAs on Cisco Routers

  • Cisco routers automatically create an IPv6 LLA whenever a GUA is assigned to the interface.
  • By default, Cisco IOS routers use EUI-64 to generate the interface ID for all LLAs on IPv6 interfaces.
  • Here is an example of a LLA dynamically configured on the G0/0/0 interface of R1:

Verify IPv6 Address Configuration

  • Cisco routers automatically create an IPv6 LLA whenever a GUA is assigned to the interface.
  • By default, Cisco IOS routers use EUI-64 to generate the interface ID for all LLAs on IPv6 interfaces.
  • Here is an example of a LLA dynamically configured on the G0/0/0 interface of R1:
