Configuring IPv6
Neighbor Addresses
Use the IP > IPv6 Configuration > Configure Neighbor page to configure a static
entry in the IPv6 neighbor discovery cache.
Usage Guidelines
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) has been replaced in IPv6 with the Neighbor
Discovery Protocol (NDP). Configuring IPv6 neighbor addresses is similar to
configuring static MAC addresses that are implemented using ARP.
Static entries can only be configured on an IPv6-enabled interface.
The switch does not determine whether a static entry is reachable before
placing it in the IPv6 neighbor discovery cache.
If the specified entry was dynamically learned through the IPv6 neighbor
discovery process, and already exists in the neighbor discovery cache, it is
converted to a static entry. Static entries in the IPv6 neighbor discovery cache
are not modified if subsequently detected by the neighbor discovery process.
Disabling IPv6 on an interface deletes all dynamically learned entries in the IPv6
neighbor discovery cache for that interface, but does not delete static entries.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
IPv6 Address - The IPv6 address of a neighbor device that can be reached
through one of the network interfaces configured on this switch. You can
specify either a link-local or global unicast address formatted according to RFC
2373 “IPv6 Addressing Architecture,” using 8 colon-separated 16-bit
hexadecimal values. One double colon may be used in the address to indicate
the appropriate number of zeros required to fill the undefined fields.
VLAN - VLAN ID (Range: 1-4094)
MAC Address - The 48-bit MAC layer address for the neighbor device. This
address must be formatted as six hexadecimal pairs separated by hyphens.
