gateway6 |
Indicates the IPv6 gateway address of the iBMC management network port. |
An IP address that is 128 bits in length consisting of eight 16-bit fields: xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx. However, most IPv6 addresses do not occupy all 128 bits and can be abbreviated. In addition, the two-colon (::) notation can be used to represent contiguous 16-bit fields of zeros, and leading zeroes in a field can be omitted. For example, the IPv6 address fc00::0db8:3c4d:0015:0000:0000:1a2f:1a2b can be abbreviated as fc00::db8:3c4d:15::1a2f:1a2b. |
Usage Guidelines
After the gateway address is changed, the new gateway address takes effect immediately.
Example
# Set the IPv6 gateway address of the iBMC to fc00::1.
iBMC:/->ipmcset -d gateway6 -v fc00::1 Set GATEWAY6 successfully.
# Query the new gateway address of the iBMC.
