Hi,
I have 2x EX4550 in a virtual chassis and a bunch of standalone EX4200 switches. I am trying to setup IPv6 on the vme interface of my VC. The configuration is very similar to what you would do for IPv4:
vme {
unit 0 {
family inet {
address 10.10.1.61/16;
}
family inet6 {
address <static-ipv6-address>/64;
}}}
A link-local address is generated, and the static ip is set. However, it does not seem to work. The local ip addresses are reachable from the switch itself, but the VC does not see any neighbors and neighbors don't see the VC. The IPv4 setup works fine. I also setup a static route, just like one would do for IPv4:
rib inet6.0 {
static {
route ::/0 next-hop <gateway-ipv6>;
}}
The route information seems to be correct:
> show route
::/0 *[Static/5] 21:17:39
> to <gateway-ipv6> via vme.0
<ipv6-network-address>/64 *[Direct/0] 21:37:40
> via vme.0
Everything is configured in exactly the same way as it is for IPv4, but it does not work. IPv4 works exactly as expected. When this IPv6 configuration is applied to an me0 interface on a EX4200 in standalone configuration, it works fine.
One more thing I noticed, the vme interface has the line:
> show interfaces vme
[..]
Protocol inet6, MTU: 1500
Max nh cache: 0, New hold nh limit: 0, Curr nh cnt: 0, Curr new hold cnt: 0, NH drop cnt: 0
[..]
Whereas the regular me0 interface on an EX4200 standalone switch has
> show interfaces me0
[..]
Protocol inet6, MTU: 1500
Max nh cache: 75000, New hold nh limit: 75000, Curr nh cnt: 8, Curr new hold cnt: 1, NH drop cnt: 0
[..]
I understand the vme interface creates an abstraction of the individual me0 interfaces in the virtual chassis (through a management Vlan and a VIP?). Is it possible that this setup is only implemented for ipv4?
