appliance techpreview networking ipv6: I pv6 config

I_pv6_config structure Structure that you can use to configure IPv6 on a particular interface. Because IPv6 permits multiple addresses per interface, addresses can be assigned by DHCP, SLAAC, and can also be statically assigned.

Attributes:

Name Type Description
Required
interface_name string Network interface, for example, "nic0" to configure.
dhcp boolean Address assigned by a DHCP server.
autoconf boolean Address is assigned by Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC).
addresses I_pv6_address[] A list of addresses to be statically assigned.
default_gateway string Default gateway for static IP address assignment. This configures the global IPv6 default gateway on the appliance with the specified gateway address and interface. This gateway replaces the existing default gateway configured on the appliance. However, if the gateway address is link-local, then it is added for that interface. This does not support configuration of multiple global default gateways through different interfaces.
