In this topic, We would like to provide step to create IPv6 address on F5 BIG-IP via GUI web management
and command line, we hope this information will help you to understand step create IPv6 address on F5
Step1: Create VLAN for IPv6 Address, GUI > Networks > IPv6 and fill in information
- Name of VLAN
- Tag = VLAN-ID
- Interface = Select interface and tagging type (Untagged/Tagged)

Step2: Configuration via GUI Web Manage, GUI > Networks > Self IPs

Step3: Configuration via command line

create net self 2001::1 address 2001::1/64 vlan IPv6vlan allow-service default root@(local)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos)# list net self net self 2001::1 { address 2001::1/64 allow-service { default } traffic-group traffic-group-local-only vlan IPv6vlan } |
Step4: How to check link local IPv6 address
- Enable advance routing on F5 BIG-IP, GUI > Network > Route Domain

- Go to command line and access to mode “imish”, Run command show ipv6 interface brief for check IPv6 Link-local address
root@local:Active:Standalone] config # imish local.localdomain[0]>en local.localdomain[0]#show ipv6 interface brief Interface IP-Address Status Protocol IPv6vlan 2001::1 fe80::20c:29ff:fe72:2d15 up up |
