Hi folks,

I have read on cisco website that ME3400 is not supposed to support IPv6. However, using the last IOS, 12.2(25)SEG3 METROIPACCESS on my lab, I can notice that there are some (basic) IPv6 commands.

I can configure ipv6 addresses to the interfaces, have a working inbound telnet in v6, a working traceroute ipv6 to the outside world using a default ::/0 ipv6 route, access lists, etc.. but I didn't manage to get a real (static) routing through the ME (and there is no "ipv6 router ospf XXX"). Am I forgetting a magic config key, such as "ipv6 unicast-routing" (which does not seems to exist)

Here is what a debug ipv6 packets gives me when I try to configure a static routing through the ME:

*Mar 1 05:30:32.682: IPV6: source 2A01:290:800:6970::2
(GigabitEthernet0/2)
*Mar 1 05:30:32.682: dest 2001:7A8:800:FFFF::1 (GigabitEthernet0/1) *Mar 1 05:30:32.682: traffic class 0, flow 0x0, len 104+14, prot 58, hops 64, not a router?

It seems that the ME "knows" what to do with the packet, but...


Am I missing something ? 
FYI, both of the ports have been tried as "nni" or "uni".

Thanks,
