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:
