Table 196: show ipv6 interface - display description

Field

Description

VLAN

A VLAN is marked “up” if the switch can send and receive packets on this

interface, “down” if a line signal is not present, or “administratively down”

if the interface has been disabled by the administrator.

IPv6

IPv6 is marked “enable” if the switch can send and receive IP traffic on this

interface, “disable” if the switch cannot send and receive IP traffic on this

interface, or “stalled” if a duplicate link-local address is detected on the

interface.

Link-local

address

Shows the link-local address assigned to this interface

Global unicast

address(es)

Shows the global unicast address(es) assigned to this interface

Joined group

address(es)

In addition to the unicast addresses assigned to an interface, a node is

required to join the all-nodes multicast addresses FF01::1 and FF02::1 for

all IPv6 nodes within scope 1 (interface-local) and scope 2 (link-local),

respectively.
FF01::1/16 is the transient node-local multicast address for all attached

IPv6 nodes, and FF02::1/16 is the link-local multicast address for all

attached IPv6 nodes. The node-local multicast address is only used for

loopback transmission of multicast traffic. Link-local multicast addresses

cover the same types as used by link-local unicast addresses, including all

nodes (FF02::1), all routers (FF02::2), and solicited nodes

(FF02::1:FFXX:XXXX) as described below.
A node is also required to compute and join the associated solicited-node

multicast addresses for every unicast and anycast address it is assigned.

IPv6 addresses that differ only in the high-order bits, e.g. due to multiple

high-order prefixes associated with different aggregations, will map to the

same solicited-node address, thereby reducing the number of multicast

addresses a node must join. In this example, FF02::1:FF90:0/104 is the

solicited-node multicast address which is formed by taking the low-order 24

bits of the address and appending those bits to the prefix.

MTU

Maximum transmission unit for this interface.

ND DAD

Indicates whether (neighbor discovery) duplicate address detection is

enabled.

number of DAD

attempts

The number of consecutive neighbor solicitation messages sent on the

interface during duplicate address detection.

ND retransmit

interval

The interval between IPv6 neighbor solicitation retransmissions sent on an

interface during duplicate address detection.

ND advertised

retransmit

interval

The advertised interval between IPv6 neighbor solicitation retransmissions

sent on an interface during duplicate address detection.

ND reachable

time

The amount of time that a remote IPv6 node is considered reachable after

some reachability confirmation event has occurred.

ND advertised

reachable time

The advertised amount of time that a remote IPv6 node is considered

reachable after some reachability confirmation event has occurred.
