Abstract
Computing device (located in a fabric of a data center) and method for generating a link IPv6 address. The computing device determines a local node identifier and a local link identifier for a communication interface of the computing device. The computing device receives from a remote computing device a remote node identifier and a remote link identifier for a remote communication interface of the remote computing device. Based on a comparison of the local and remote node identifiers, the link IPv6 address is generated by using an IPv6 base prefix, the local node identifier, the remote node identifier, the local link identifier, the remote link identifier, and an indicator that the local node identifier is greater or lower than the remote node identifier. A network configuration of the computing device is performed by generating a fabric-wide IPv6 address and one or more link IPv6 address.
