2 Select an interface. The IPv6 addresses defined on the interface are
displayed. In addition to the fields described in the Add pages, the
following fields are displayed:
–
ICMP Error Rate Limit Interval (0-2147483647) — Enter the
rate-limit interval for ICMPv6 error messages in milliseconds. The
value of this parameter together with the Bucket Size parameter
(below) determines how many ICMP error messages may be sent per
time interval, for example, a rate-limit interval of 100 ms and a bucket
size of 10 messages translates to 100 ICMP error messages per second.
– ICMP Error Rate Limit Bucket Size (1-200) — Enter the bucket size
for ICMPv6 error messages. The value of this parameter together with
the ICMP Error Rate Limit Interval parameter determines how many
ICMP error messages may be sent per time interval, for example, a
rate-limit interval of 100 ms and a bucket size of 10 messages
translates to 100 ICMP error messages per second.
3 To add a new IPv6 interface, click Add IPv6 Interface , and enter the fields:
– Interface — Select an IPv6 interface to be configured.
– Number of DAD Attempts — Enter the number of consecutive
neighbor solicitation messages that are sent on an interface while
Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) is performed on Unicast IPv6
addresses on this interface. New addresses remain in a tentative state
while duplicate address detection is performed. A field value of 0,
disables duplicate address detection processing on the specified
interface. A field value of 1, indicates a single transmission without
follow up transmissions.
– Autoconfiguration — Enable/disable stateless auto configuration of
IPv6 address assignment. When enabled, the router solicitation ND
procedure is initiated. This discovers a router in order to assign an IP
address to the interface, based on prefixes received with RA messages.
When auto configuration is disabled, no automatic assignment of
IPv6 global Unicast addresses is performed, and existing,
automatically-assigned IPv6 global Unicast addresses are removed
from the interface.
