I can't enable IPV6 in a Cisco 2800 router that runs iOS version 12.4T.

I followed the summary steps section in Cisco's web page . But whenever I type "ipv6" on the command line (as in 'ipv6 address' - Step 4 in the summary steps), I get an error message stating command not supported, with a caret pointing at the "v" in the ipv6. From the same web page, iOS versions greater than 12.2 should support IPv6.

What could be the problem? Do you need more data?

Features are indeed dependant of the version your router is running, ie 12.4T in this case, but also what is called the "feature set". It seems that your version does not support ipv6.

Cisco Feature Navigator can help you to identify a correct version for your hardware, that supports ipv6/the fancy feature you need.

Common feature sets :

  • ip base
  • SP services (service provider)
  • advanced ip
  • advanced enterprise services

If you want to learn more regarding the IOS naming and versioning, follow this link.

edit: a quick search in cisco's feature navigator shows that ipv6 is supported since at least 12.4(2)T1, but you'll need an advanced ip services or advanced enterprise services feature set.

In later versions, ipv6 is also supported on voice & sp services.
