You can also use the show ipv6 interface command that provides more detailed information.//
The router automatically adds IPv6 connected routes to the IPv6 routing table. The connected routes are kept in the IPv6 routing table only when the interface is in an up/up state.//
We have covered configuration of static IPv6 addresses using the full 128-bit address. However, you can also configure IPv6 prefixes only letting the router deduce the rest of the IPv6 address. We are going to cover this second type of IPv6 static address configuration next.//
Key Concept The ipv6 address command gives the interface a unicast IPv6 address, defines the IPv6 prefix for the interface, enables routing of IPv6 packets in/out that interface, and tells the router to add a connected route for that prefix to the IPv6 routing table when the interface is up/up.
