z

After a static neighbor entry is configured by using the first method, the device needs to resolve

the corresponding Layer 2 port information of the VLAN interface.

z

If you adopt the second method, you should ensure that the corresponding VLAN interface exists

and that the Layer 2 port specified by port-type port-number belongs to the VLAN specified by

vlan-id. After a static neighbor entry is configured, the device relates the VLAN interface to the

IPv6 address to uniquely identify a static neighbor entry.

Configuring the Maximum Number of Neighbors Dynamically Learned

The device can dynamically acquire the link-layer address of a neighbor node through NS and NA

messages and add it into the neighbor table. Too large a neighbor table may reduce the forwarding

performance of the device. You can restrict the size of the neighbor table by setting the maximum

number of neighbors that an interface can dynamically learn. When the number of dynamically learned

neighbors reaches the threshold, the interface will stop learning neighbor information.

Follow these steps to configure the maximum number of neighbors dynamically learned:

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 corresponding operations.

Table 13-4

lists the configurable parameters in an RA

message and their descriptions.

Table 13-4 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 Cur Hop Limit field in

IPv6 headers. The value is also filled into the Cur Hop Limit field in response

messages of a device.

Prefix information

options

After receiving the prefix information advertised by the device, the hosts on the

same link can perform stateless autoconfiguration.
