appliance networking interfaces ipv6: config

The config structure provides the structure that you can use to configure IPv6 on a particular interface. Addresses can be assigned by DHCP, SLAAC or STATIC, as IPv6 permits multiple addresses per interface. This structure was added in vSphere API 6.7.

Representation:

JSON

{
    "default_gateway" : "string",
    "addresses" : [
        {
            "address" : "string",
            "prefix" : 1
        },
        {
            "address" : "string",
            "prefix" : 1
        }
    ],
    "autoconf" : true,
    "dhcp" : true
}

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
Required
dhcp	boolean	An address will be assigned by a DHCP server. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.
autoconf	boolean	An address will be assigned by Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC). This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.
addresses	address[]	The list of addresses to be statically assigned. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.
addresses[].address	string	The IPv6 address, for example, fc00:10:20:83:20c:29ff:fe94:bb5a. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.
addresses[].prefix	long	The IPv6 CIDR prefix, for example, 64. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.
default_gateway	string	The 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. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.
