does configuring ipv6 address on already configured and functional ipv4 interface interrupt service ?

[usmansa1]

Hi,

I have been given task to configure the IPv6 service on the interface which has already ipv4 address configured and BGP peer established and working. My question is that is configuring ipv6 address on same interface with already working ipv4 and bgp will interrupt any service or not. Subsequently I have to configure the bgp peering as well for IPv6. Does this has any impact on ipv4 service which is already working through the same interface ?

My device is Catalyst 4500

I've had no issues before enabling and configuring IPv6 and an IPv4 interface that was already up and running.

Hi Usmansa1

You should have no problem configuring both IPv6 and IPv6 on the same interface. Dual stacking will make that achievable. You can access both IPv4 and IPv6 contents simulatneously.

I hope this helps!
