prefix-length
—Designates how many of the high-order contiguous bits of
the address make up the prefix.
•
eui64
—The optional eui-64 field designates that IPv6 processing on the
interfaces is enabled using an EUI-64 interface ID in the low order 64 bits
of the address. If this option is used, the value of prefix_length must be 64
bits.
•
autoconfig
—Use this keyword to set the IPv6 address auto configuration
mode.

vlan 10 already exists.
