To enable IPv6 on a Cisco 2960 switch, first make sure the switch is running an IOS version that supports IPv6. To verify this, in enable mode type “show ver”. If the switch runs an IOS version that supports IPv6, proceed with the following steps:
1. Assign an IPv6 address to the switch’s interface. This is done by entering the following command:
interface [interface name]
ipv6 address [IPv6 address]
2. Enable IPv6 forwarding. This is done by issuing the following command:
ipv6 unicast-routing
3. Configure the IPv6 routing protocol. This is done by entering the following command:
ipv6 router [routing protocol]
4. Finally, configure any other necessary IPv6 settings, such as ACLs, security settings, etc.
After all of these steps have been completed, IPv6 should be enabled and operational on your Cisco 2960 switch.
