Usage Information
Neighbor Discovery Protocol for IPv6 is defined in RFC 2461 as part of the Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
protocol. It replaces the Address Resolution Protocol used with IPv4. It defines mechanisms for solving problems,
such as:
• Router discovery: Hosts can locate routers residing on a link.
• Prefix discovery: Hosts can discover address prefixes for the link.
• Parameter discovery .
• Address autoconfiguration — configuration 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 first-hop.
Use the ipv6 neighbor command to manually configure the IPv6 address of a neighbor to be discovered by the
switch.
show ipv6 neighbors
Display IPv6 discovery information. Entering the command without options shows all IPv6 neighbor addresses stored on the control
processor (CP).
Syntax
show ipv6 neighbors [vrf vrf-name] [ipv6-address| interface interface]
Parameters
vrf vrf-name (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword vrf and the name of the VRF to display the neighbors
corresponding to that VRF.
