NOTE:

The maximum interval for sending RA messages should be less than or equal to the router lifetime in RA
messages, so that the router can be updated through an RA message before expiration.

The values of the NS retransmission timer and the reachable time configured for an interface are sent to
hosts via RA messages. Furthermore, this interface sends NS messages at the interval of the NS

retransmission timer and considers a neighbor reachable within the reachable time.

Configuring the maximum number of attempts to send an NS

message for DAD

An interface sends an NS message for DAD after acquiring an IPv6 address. If the interface does not

receive a response within a specified time (determined by the ipv6 nd ns retrans-timer command), it

continues to send an NS message. If it still does not receive a response after the number of sent attempts
reaches the threshold (specified with the ipv6 nd dad attempts command), the acquired address is

considered usable.
To configure the attempts to send an NS message for DAD:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

2.

3.

Configure the number of attempts

to send an NS message for DAD. ipv6 nd dad attempts value

Optional.
1 by default. When the value

argument is set to 0, DAD is

disabled.

Enabling ND proxy

ND proxy supports the NS and NA messages only.

Introduction

If a host sends an NS message requesting the hardware address of another host that is isolated from the

sending host at Layer 2, the device in between must be able to forward the NS message to allow Layer

3 communication between the two hosts. This is achieved by ND proxy.
As shown in

Figure 359

, Router connects to two subnets through Ethernet 1/1 and Ethernet 1/2. The IP

addresses of the two interfaces are 4:1::99/64 and 4:2::99/64. Host A and Host B have the same prefix

assigned and are connected to Ethernet 1/1 and Ethernet 1/2, respectively.
