### Configuring IPv6 Addressing

An IPv6 address is a 128-bit unique number that identifies the particular host and destination in a network. The different types of IPv6 addressing are:

- Unicast - These addresses identify network interfaces.

- Anycast - These addresses identify a group of interfaces that are placed at different locations. The same address is assigned to different interfaces. The traffic always flows to the nearest interface.

- Multicast - These addresses are identify a group containing several interfaces. The traffic intended for that group is sent to all of the interfaces of that group.

The following procedures show how to add and remove IPv6 addressess from an interface:

- Add IPv6 Addresses to an Interface

- Remove IPv6 Addresses From an Interface
