Important
You can configure IPv6 addresses for the IPMI interface only for EX 5500 and EX 8500 appliances.
Use the instructions in this section to configure an IPv6 Address for the IPMI interface using the CLI. For information about using the IPMI interface, see The Appliance IPMI Interface.
Prerequisites
One end of an Ethernet cable is plugged in to the IPMI port, and the other end of the cable is plugged in to an administrative computer or terminal server
Upgrade IPMI firmware version to 2.37. For details, see Updating IPMI and BIOS firmware.

Go to CLI configuration mode.
hostname > enable hostname # configure terminal
Configure the static IPv6 address for the IPMI interface:
hostname (config) # ipmi lan6 ipaddr <valid IPv6 Address> prefix <1-128>
To enable DHCP on your network:
hostname (config) # ipmi lan6 dhcp enable
Save your changes:
hostname (config) # write memory
Display the configuration. For example:
hostname (config) # show ipmi interface IPMI LAN Settings ---------------------------------------- Admin Shut Down : no Shut Down : (n/a) Set in Progress : Set in Progress IP Address Source : DHCP Address IPMI LAN6 Settings ---------------------------------------- Static ipv6 Address : 2015:9:19:ffff::da7/64 Dhcp ipv6 Address : 2015:9:19:ffff::da7/64
