server. Some hosts interpret the “other stateful configuration” flag to indicate
that they should use stateless address autoconfiguration to get IPv6 address
(based on the IPv6 prefixes found in router advertisements) and stateful
autoconfiguration to get other non-address parameters from DHCPv6 servers.
In this case, the absence of both the “managed address configuration” flag and
the “other stateful configuration” flag is interpreted to mean that they should
use only stateless autoconfiguration to obtain addresses.
IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol supersedes IPv4 Address Resolution Protocol
in IPv6 networks. IPv6 nodes on the same network segment use Neighbor
Discovery to discover each other's presence, to determine each other's link-
layer addresses, to find routers and to maintain reachability information about
the paths to active neighbors. The key parameters used to facilitate this process
are the number of attempts made to verify whether or not a duplicate address
exists on the same network segment, and the interval between neighbor
solicitations used to verify reachability information.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
VLAN Mode
VLAN ID of a configured VLAN which is to be used for management access, or
as a standard interface for a subnet. By default, all ports on the switch are
members of VLAN 1. However, the management station can be attached to a
port belonging to any VLAN, as long as that VLAN has been assigned an IP
address. (Range: 1-4094)
Enable IPv6 Explicitly – Enables IPv6 on an interface and assigns it a link-local
address. Note that when an explicit address is assigned to an interface, IPv6 is
automatically enabled, and cannot be disabled until all assigned addresses
have been removed. (Default: Disabled)
Disabling this parameter does not disable IPv6 for an interface that has been
explicitly configured with an IPv6 address.
Enable ND managed-config-flag – C.onfigures IPv6 router advertisements to
indicate to attached hosts that they can use stateful autoconfiguration to
obtain addresses. (Default: Disabled)
Enable ND other-config-flag – Configures IPv6 router advertisements to
indicate to attached hosts that they can obtain stateful autoconfiguration
information other than addresses. (Default: Disabled)
Enable ND ra suppress – Suppresses periodic unsolicited router
advertisements on an interface. It does not suppress advertisements sent in
response to a router solicitation. (Default: Disabled)
MTU – Sets the size of the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for IPv6 packets
sent on an interface. (Range: 1280-65535 bytes; Default: 1500 bytes)
