Very common misconception for the "ipv6 enable" interface config
statement for IOS on slides 19, 21, etc.
The "ipv6 enable" statement is only necessary to enable IPv6 on an
interface if you are not assigning it an IPv6 address (e.g. this will
simply enable IPv6 with a LL address). Otherwise it is useless.
Would be a good idea to stop spreading the false assumption that "ipv6
enable" determines whether or not IPv6 is active on an interface.
