Configure the maximum
number of neighbors

dynamically learned by an
interface.

ipv6 neighbors
max-learning-num number

Optional.
By default, the maximum number of
neighbors that a Layer 2 Ethernet interface

can learn is the maximum neighbor number
supported by the adopted system working

mode.

Setting the age timer for ND entries in stale state

ND entries in stale state have an age timer. If an ND entry in stale state is not refreshed before the timer

expires, it transits to the delay state. If it is still not refreshed in 5 seconds, the ND entry transits to the

probe state, and the device sends an NS message for detection. If no response is received after three ND

messages are sent, the device removes the ND entry.
To set the age timer for ND entries in stale state:

Configuring parameters related to RA messages

You can enable an interface to send RA messages, and configure the interval for sending RA messages

and parameters in RA messages. After receiving an RA message, a host can use these parameters to
perform operations.

Table 10

lists and describes the configurable parameters in an RA message.

Table 10 Parameters in an RA message and their descriptions

Parameters Description

Cur Hop Limit

When sending an IPv6 packet, a host uses the value to fill the Hop Limit field in IPv6
headers. The value is also filled into the Hop Limit field in the response packet of a

switch.

Prefix Information
options

After receiving the prefix information advertised by the switch, the hosts on the same
link can perform stateless autoconfiguration.

MTU

This field is used to make sure all nodes on a link use the same MTU value.
