DGS-3600 Series Layer 3 Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch
IPv6 Neighbor
IPv6 neighbors are devices on the link-local network that have been detected as being IPv6 devices. These devices can forward
packets and keep track of the reachability of routers, as well as if changes occur within link-layer addresses of nodes on the
network or if identical unicast addresses are present on the local link. The following two windows are used to view IPv6
neighbors, and add or delete them from the Neighbor cache.
