Parameters

value

—The number of neighbor solicitation messages. The acceptable

range is from 0 to 600. Configuring a value of 0 disables duplicate address

detection processing on the specified interface; a value of 1 configures a

single transmission without follow-up transmissions.

Default Configuration

1

Command Mode

Interface Configuration mode

User Guidelines

Duplicate address detection verifies the uniqueness of new Unicast IPv6

addresses before the addresses are assigned to interfaces (the new addresses

remain in a tentative state while duplicate address detection is performed).

Duplicate address detection uses neighbor solicitation messages to verify the

uniqueness of Unicast IPv6 addresses.
The DupAddrDetectTransmits node configuration variable (as specified in

RFC 4862, IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration) is used to

automatically determine the number of consecutive neighbor solicitation

messages that are sent on an interface, while duplicate address detection is

performed on a tentative Unicast IPv6 address.
The interval between duplicate address detection, neighbor solicitation

messages (the duplicate address detection timeout interval) is specified by

the neighbor discovery-related variable RetransTimer (as specified in RFC

4861, Neighbor Discovery for IPv6), which is used to determine the time

between retransmissions of neighbor solicitation messages to a neighbor

when resolving the address or when probing the reachability of a neighbor.

This is the same management variable used to specify the interval for

neighbor solicitation messages during address resolution and neighbor

unreachability detection. Use the ipv6 nd ns-interval command to configure

the interval between neighbor solicitation messages that are sent during

duplicate address detection.
