Configuring IPv6 neighbor discovery

Router advertisement and solicitation messages
Router advertisement and solicitation messages enable a node on a link to discover the routers on
the same link.
Each configured router interface on a link sends out a router advertisement message, which has a
value of 134 in the Type field of the ICMP packet header, periodically to the all-nodes link-local
multicast address (FF02::1).
A configured router interface can also send a router advertisement message in response to a
router solicitation message from a node on the same link. This message is sent to the unicast IPv6
address of the node that sent the router solicitation message.
At system startup, a host on a link sends a router solicitation message to the all-routers multicast
address (FF01). Sending a router solicitation message, which has a value of 133 in the Type field of
the ICMP packet header, enables the host to automatically configure its IPv6 address immediately
instead of awaiting the next periodic router advertisement message.
Because a host at system startup typically does not have a unicast IPv6 address, the source
address in the router solicitation message is usually the unspecified IPv6 address
(0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0). If the host has a unicast IPv6 address, the source address is the unicast IPv6
address of the host interface sending the router solicitation message.
Entering the ipv6 unicast-routing command automatically enables the sending of router
advertisement messages on all configured router Ethernet interfaces. You can configure several
router advertisement message parameters. For information about disabling the sending of router
advertisement messages and the router advertisement parameters that you can configure, refer to
“Enabling and disabling IPv6 router advertisements”
on page 1101 and
“Setting IPv6 router
advertisement parameters”
on page 1099.
Neighbor redirect messages
After forwarding a packet, by default, a router can send a neighbor redirect message to a host to
inform it of a better first-hop router. The host receiving the neighbor redirect message will then
readdress the packet to the better router.
A router sends a neighbor redirect message only for unicast packets, only to the originating node,
and to be processed by the node.
A neighbor redirect message has a value of 137 in the Type field of the ICMP packet header.
Setting neighbor solicitation parameters for duplicate
address detection
Although the stateless autoconfiguration feature assigns the 64-bit interface ID portion of an IPv6
address using the MAC address of the host’s NIC, duplicate MAC addresses can occur. Therefore,
the duplicate address detection feature verifies that a unicast IPv6 address is unique before it is
assigned to a host interface by the stateless autoconfiguration feature. Duplicate address
detection verifies that a unicast IPv6 address is unique.
If duplicate address detection identifies a duplicate unicast IPv6 address, the address is not used.
If the duplicate address is the link-local address of the host interface, the interface stops
processing IPv6 packets.
