Setting the Switch’s IP Address (IP Version 6)

– 418 –

Duplicate address detection determines if a new unicast IPv6

address already exists on the network before it is assigned to an

interface.

Duplicate address detection is stopped on any interface that has

been suspended (see

"Configuring VLAN Groups" on page 158

).

While an interface is suspended, all unicast IPv6 addresses assigned

to that interface are placed in a “pending” state. Duplicate address

detection is automatically restarted when the interface is

administratively re-activated.

An interface that is re-activated restarts duplicate address detection

for all unicast IPv6 addresses on the interface. While duplicate

address detection is performed on the interface’s link-local address,
the other IPv6 addresses remain in a “tentative” state. If no

duplicate link-local address is found, duplicate address detection is

started for the remaining IPv6 addresses.

If a duplicate address is detected, it is set to “duplicate” state, and a

warning message is sent to the console. If a duplicate link-local

address is detected, IPv6 processes are disabled on the interface. If

a duplicate global unicast address is detected, it is not used. All

configuration commands associated with a duplicate address remain

configured while the address is in “duplicate” state.

If the link-local address for an interface is changed, duplicate

address detection is performed on the new link-local address, but

not for any of the IPv6 global unicast addresses already associated

with the interface.

ND NS Interval – The interval between transmitting IPv6 neighbor

solicitation messages on an interface. (Range: 1000-3600000

milliseconds;
Default: 1000 milliseconds is used for neighbor discovery operations,

0 milliseconds is advertised in router advertisements.

This attribute specifies the interval between transmitting neighbor

solicitation messages when resolving an address, or when probing the

reachability of a neighbor. Therefore, avoid using very short intervals

for normal IPv6 operations.

Restart DHCPv6 – DHCPv6 stateful configuration of IP address prefixes is

not supported in the current software release. If the router advertisements

have the “other stateful configuration” flag set, the switch will attempt to

acquire other non-address configuration information (such as a default

gateway) from a DHCPv6 server.
