The
no form of this command removes the global unicast address on the interface.
This command automatically creates an IPv6 link-local address on the interface. However, it does not add the
ipv6 address link-local command to the running configuration. If you remove the IPv6 address, the link-local address is also removed. To maintain the link-local address, you must manually execute the
ipv6 address link-local command.
