1.4.3 Configuring Parameters Related to an RA Message
You can configure whether the interface sends an RA message, the interval for sending
RA messages, and parameters in RA messages. After receiving an RA message, a
host can use these parameters to perform corresponding operations.
Table 1-4
lists the
configurable parameters in an RA message and their descriptions.
Table 1-4
Parameters in an RA message and their descriptions
Parameters
Description
Cur hop limit
When sending an IPv6 packet, a host uses the value of this
parameter to fill the Cur Hop Limit field in IPv6 headers.
Meanwhile, the value of this parameter is equal to the value
of the Cur Hop Limit field in response messages of the
device.
Prefix information
options
After receiving the prefix information advertised by the
device, the hosts on the same link can perform stateless
autoconfiguration operations.
M flag
This field determines whether hosts use the stateful
autoconfiguration to acquire IPv6 addresses.
If the M flag is set to 1, hosts use the stateful
autoconfiguration to acquire IPv6 addresses. Otherwise,
hosts use the stateless autoconfiguration to acquire IPv6
addresses, that is, hosts configure IPv6 addresses
according to their own link-layer addresses and the prefix
information issued by the router.
O flag
This field determines whether hosts use the stateful
autoconfiguration to acquire information other than IPv6
addresses.
If the O flag is set to 1, hosts use the stateful
autoconfiguration (for example, DHCP server) to acquire
information other than IPv6 addresses. Otherwise, hosts use
the stateless autoconfiguration to acquire information other
than IPv6 addresses.
