sys ipv6config command

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

The ipv6config command is used to configure IPv6 at the system level. You can do the following:

  • Configure IPv6 interactively or non-interactively. When you configure IPv6 interactively, Avaya Aura® Device Services prompts you to enter the IPv6 address, network prefix, and default gateway. When you configure IPv6 non-interactively, you must provide these settings as command options.

  • Review the IPv6 configuration.

  • Delete the IPv6 networking configuration.

For more information about the supported options, run this command with the -h argument. The following is an example:

[admin@aads ~]$ sys ipv6config -h
Usage:
    ipv6config show
        Shows the server's IPv6 networking configuration.

    ipv6config set [options]
        Sets, or updates, the server's IPv6 networking configuration. If no
        options are specified, then data is collected interactively. Existing
        configuration is used for any non-specified IPv6 configuration items.
        A default network prefix of 64 is used if a prefix cannot be resolved.
        Specify "-h" for a list of available options.

    ipv6config delete
        Deletes the server's IPV6 networking.

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --ip=ADDRESS[/PREFIX]
                        IPv6 interface address.
  --prefix=PREFIX       IPv6 prefix. If a prefix is also specified in the --ip
                        option, then this option takes precedence.
  --gw=GATEWAY_ADDRESS  IPv6 default gateway address.

This command is only available for OVA-based deployments.

Example: interactive configuration

The following example shows IPv6 configuration in interactive mode:

[admin@aads bin]$ sys ipv6config set

Interface IPv6 address ('q' to quit) [] => 2a07:2a42:adc0:112::fa
IPv6 network prefix ('q' to quit) [64] =>
Interface IPv6 default gateway ('q' to quit) [] => 2a07:2a42:adc0:112::1/64

The server IPv6 configuration will be updated to the following and networking
will be restarted:

    Interface address : 2a07:2a42:adc0:112::fa
    Prefix            : 64
    Default gateway   : 2a07:2a42:adc0:112::1
    Network           : 2a07:2a42:adc0:112::/64

Confirm (y/n) => y

Appying configuration:

    Interface address : 2a07:2a42:adc0:112::fa
    Prefix            : 64
    Default gateway   : 2a07:2a42:adc0:112::1
    Network           : 2a07:2a42:adc0:112::/64

Restarting networking.
