Usage Information
Neighbor Discovery Protocol for IPv6 is dened in RFC 2461 as part of the Stateless Address
Autoconguration protocol. It replaces the Address Resolution Protocol used with IPv4. It denes
mechanisms for solving problems, such as:
• Router discovery: Hosts can locate routers residing on a link.
• Prex discovery: Hosts can discover address prexes for the link.
• Parameter discovery .
• Address autoconguration — conguration of addresses for an interface .
• Address resolution — mapping from IP address to link-layer address.
• Next-hop determination.
• Neighbor Unreachability Detection (NUD): Determine that a neighbor is no longer reachable on the link.
• Duplicate Address Detection (DAD): Allow a node to check whether a proposed address is already in use.
• Redirect: The router can inform a node about a better rst-hop.
Use the ipv6 neighbor command to manually congure the IPv6 address of a neighbor to be discovered by
the switch.
