● For a Null interface, enter the keyword null then the Null interface number.
● For a VLAN interface, enter the keyword vlan then a number from 1 to 4094.
● For a tunnel interface, enter the keyword tunnel then the tunnel interface
number. The range is from 1 to 16383.
● For a port extender Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword peGigE then
the pe-id / stack-unit / port-id information. The pe-id range is from 0 to 255;
the stack-unit unit-number range is from 0 to 7; and the port-id range is from 1
to 48
● For a port extender 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
peTenGigE then the pe-id / stack-unit / port-id information. The pe-id range
is from 0 to 255; the stack-unit unit-number range is from 0 to 7; and the port-
id range is 25 to 28 or 49 to 52 depending on the PE.

Usage
Information
Neighbor Discovery Protocol for IPv6 is defined in RFC 2461 as part of the Stateless Address
Autoconfiguration protocol. It replaces the Address Resolution Protocol used with IPv4. It defines
mechanisms for solving problems, such as:
● Router discovery: Hosts can locate routers residing on a link
● Prefix discovery: Hosts can discover address prefixes for the link.
● Parameter discovery
● Address autoconfiguration — configuration of addresses for an interface
● Address resolution — mapping from IP address to link-layer address
● Next-hop determination• Neighbor Unreachability Detection (NUD): Determine that a neighbor is no
longer reachable on the link
● Duplicate Address Detection (DAD): Allow a node to check whether a proposed address is already in
use.
● Redirect: The router can inform a node about a better first-hop.
Use the ipv6 neighbor command to manually configure the IPv6 address of a neighbor to be discovered by
the switch.
