User Guidelines

The router advertises its global IPv6 prefixes in its router advertisements

(RAs). An RA only includes the prefixes of the IPv6 addresses configured on

the interface where the RA is transmitted. Addresses are configured using the

ipv6 address interface configuration command. Each prefix advertisement

includes information about the prefix, such as its lifetime values and whether

hosts should use the prefix for on-link determination or address auto-

configuration. Use the ipv6 nd prefix command to configure these values.
The ipv6 nd prefix command will allow you to preconfigure RA prefix values

before you configure the associated interface address. In order for the prefix

to be included in RAs, you must configure an address that matches the prefix

using the ipv6 address command. Prefixes specified using ipv6 nd prefix

without an associated interface address will not be included in RAs and will

not be committed to the device configuration.
