DDave447,
You are correct in OS10 its as simple as 'ipv6 enable' on the port (which is the default setting for physical ports that arent switchported) and it will have an IPV6 link-local address.
On OS9 though - you have to configure an IPV6 GLOBAL address on an interface (physical or vlan/svi) and the act of doing so causes the switch to generate its own link-local address for the interface
The only OS9 autoconfig that can occur without a global address is on interfaces in the management VRF.
In short, in OS9, you cannot just run "ipv6 enable" instead you have to manual assign IPV6 on that interface VLAN
Let me know if this helps.
