IPv6 Neighbors
This screen defines IPv6 Neighbors for the selected equipment.
Figure 13-78. IPv6 Neighbors
These definitions are like the functionality of the IPv4 Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). IPv6
Neighbors enables detecting Link Local addresses within the same subnet, and includes a database
for maintaining reachability information about the active neighbors paths.
These devices typically support a total of up to 256 neighbors obtained either statically or
dynamically. When removing an IPv6 interface, all neighbors learned statically and dynamically are
removed.
-
Interface — Displays the interface on which IPv6 Interface is defined. Interfaces include Ports,
LAGs, or VLANs.
-
IPv6 Address — Defines the currently configured neighbor IPv6 address.
-
MAC Address — Displays the MAC address assigned to the interface.
-
Ty p e — Displays the type of the neighbor discovery cache information entry. The possible field
values are:
Static — Shows static neighbor discovery cache entries. If an entry for the specified IPv6
address already exists in the neighbor discovery cache—as learned through the IPv6
neighbor discovery process—you can convert the entry to a static entry.
Dynamic — Shows dynamic neighbor discovery cache entries.
Remove — When selected, removes the neighbor from the list.
In the IPv6 Neighbors Table, the following additional parameter appears:
State — Displays the IPv6 Neighbor status. The field possible values are:
