ipv6 nd proxy
Configures a single IPv6 subnet prefix to support multiple physical links in IPv6 Neighbor Discovery.
Syntax
ipv6 nd proxy
no ipv6 nd proxy
Command Default
This feature is disabled.
Modes
The ipv6 nd proxy is configurable under the global configuration mode.
Usage Guidelines
The IPv6 ND proxy command turns on the IPv6 ND proxy capability for the node, and is run at the configuration level.
Use the no form of this command to remove the ND proxy configuration.
Per RFC 4389, ND proxy can be used to bridge multiple links into a single entity to simplify management, as there is no need
to allocate subnet numbers to the different networks. This can help alleviate the need to configure NAT in IPv6 networks.
NOTE
This is an IETF Experimental Protocol. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that appropriate network-layer
support is provided.
The following limitations apply:
The ipv6 nd proxy is not supported over v6 tunnel interface.
The IPv6 nd proxy programs the RACL to force the Unicast NS, sent during neighbor refresh, to the CPU for processing as
proxy NS.
The ipv6 nd proxy is currently supported for NS and NA messages and are not supported for other ND messages like RS,
RA and redirect message.
The IPv6 nd proxy is not supported for the IPsec tunnels and on MCT.
Examples
To enable the IPv6 ND proxy feature for the node:
R2>#en
No password has been assigned yet...
R2#conf t
R2(config)# ipv6 nd proxy
R2(config)#
ipv6 nd local-proxy
