IPv6
The PTP 700 management agent supports the following IPv6 features:
Neighbor discovery
PTP 700 supports neighbor discovery for IPv6 as specified in RFC 4861 including:
Neighbor un-reachability detection (NUD),
Sending and receiving of neighbor solicitation (NS) and neighbor advertisement (NA)
messages,
Processing of redirect functionality.
PTP 700 sends router solicitations, but does not process router advertisements.
Path MTU discovery and packet size
PTP 700 supports path MTU discovery as specified in RFC 1981, and packet fragmentation and
reassembly as specified in RFC 2460 and RFC 5722.
ICMP for IPv6
PTP 700 supports ICMPv6 as specified in RFC 4443. PTP 700 does not support RFC 4884 (multi-
part messages).
Addressing
The PTP 700 management agent is compatible with the IPv6 addressing architecture specified
in RFC 4291. PTP 700 allows static configuration of the following:
Global unicast address
IPv6 prefix length
IPv6 default router.
PTP 700 additionally assigns an automatically configured Link Local address using stateless
address auto-configuration (SLAAC) as specified in RFC 4862. PTP 700 does not assign a global
unicast IP address using SLAAC.
PTP 700 responds on the standard management agent interfaces (HTTP, HTTPS, syslog, Telnet,
SNMP, SMTP, SNTP) using the global unicast address.
Privacy extensions
PTP 700 does not support the privacy extensions specified in RFC 4941.
DHCPv6
PTP 700 does not support address assignment using DHCPv6. The address of the management
agent must be configured statically.
