Release Highlights
Release 11.0.2 is a maintenance release and includes the feature described in this
section.
IPv6
Support for IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Router Advertisements with Service
Modules on ERX Routers
Service line modules and IPSec service modules (collectively referred to as
Service Modules) on ERX14xx models, ERX7xx models, and the ERX310 router
now support IPv6 Neighbor Discovery router advertisements for dynamically
configured interfaces. When a router is configured for IPv6, it uses router
advertisements to announce its presence to other nodes connected to it. Hosts
discover the addresses of their neighboring routers by listening for these
advertisements.
In addition to configuring Neighbor Discovery through the CLI, you can also use
IPv6 profiles and RADIUS to configure Neighbor Discovery route
advertisements for dynamically configured interfaces. If both an IPv6 profile
and RADIUS are configured for Neighbor Discovery router advertisement, the
prefix value returned in RADIUS VSA 26-129 takes precedence over the prefix
specified in the IPv6 profile configuration.
Change in existing behavior
: Existing feature extended as described here. In
lower-numbered releases, IPv6 Neighbor Discovery was supported only on Fast
Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, OCx/STMx GE/FE, and OCx/STMx ATM line modules
on ERX routers. In this release, ERX routers that contain SMs support IPv6
Neighbor Discovery router advertisements on dynamic interfaces.
