8.8.8 IPv6 Neighbor Setup
Use this screen to create a static IPv6 neighbor entry in the Switch’s IPv6 neighbor table to store
the neighbor information permanently. Click the link next to
IPv6 Neighbor Setup
in the

DESCRIPTION
Interface
Select the IPv6 interface you want to configure.
DAD Attempts
The Switch uses Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) with neighbor solicitation and
advertisement messages to check whether an IPv6 address is already in use before
assigning it to an interface, such as the link-local address it creates through stateless
address autoconfiguration.
Specify the number of consecutive neighbor solicitations (from 0 to 600) the Switch
sends for this interface. Enter 0 to turn off DAD.
NS Interval
Specify the time interval (from 1000 to 3600000 milliseconds) at which neighbor
solicitations are re-sent for this interface.
Reachable Time
Specify how long (from 1000 to 3600000 milliseconds) a neighbor is considered
reachable for this interface.
Apply
Click
Apply
to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses
these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the
Save
link on the top
navigation panel to save your changes to the nonvolatile memory when you are done
configuring.
Cancel

DAD Attempts
This field displays the number of consecutive neighbor solicitations the Switch sends
for this interface.
NS Interval

re-sent for this interface.
Reachable Time
This field displays how long (in milliseconds) a neighbor is considered reachable for
this interface.
