I was looking for information on running IPv6 in VRF on the Catalyst 3k platform and there wasn’t much information available. I tried running IPv6 in VRF on Catalyst 3560 with correct SDM profile but got this error message:
Switch(config-vrf)#address-family ipv6 IPv6 VRF not supported for this platform or this template
I checked with Cisco and you need to have Catalyst 3560-X/3750-X with release 15.2(1)E for IPv6 to be supported in a VRF. This means the feature is not supported on the non X models.
The feature is also available on the 3650/3850 platform with IOS-XE 3.6.0E.
I hope this information helps someone looking for IPv6 support in VRF.
IPv6 Support in VRF on Catalyst 3k
Looking for the same information… Very helpful,
thanks you.
Hallo,
I have a WS-C3750X-24P version 15.2(1)E1 switch but I still get the ‘IPv6 VRF not supported for this platform or this template’ error message on configuration. Could there be another reason for this?
Thanks.
Hmm. Could possibly be related to the SDM template. What does show sdm prefer say?
