Prefixes configured as addresses on an interface using the

ipv6 address

command are advertised in router advertisements. If prefixes are

configured for advertisement using the ipv6 nd prefix command, then

only these prefixes are advertised.

The preferred lifetime and valid lifetime are counted down in real time.

After the preferred lifetime expires, no new connections are made using

this prefix. When the valid lifetime expires, this prefix will no longer be

advertised.

All prefixes are inserted in the routing table as Connected (i.e., on-

line), unless specified with the off-link option. If the off-link option is

specified, and the prefix is already present in the routing table as a

Connected prefix, it will be removed.

Do not include the link-local prefix in the list of advertised prefixes.

The following configures a network prefix with a valid lifetime of 1000

seconds, and a preferred lifetime of 900 seconds:

Console(config)#interface vlan 1

Console(config)#ipv6 nd prefix 2011:0DBF::/35 1000 900

Console(config)#

The interval between transmissions should be less than or equal to the

IPv6 router advertisement lifetime if you configure a route as a default

router by using the

ipv6 nd ra lifetime

command.

To prevent synchronization with other IPv6 nodes, the actual interval

used is randomly selected from a value between the minimum value set
