IPv6 Interface
This screen manages IP v6 interfaces for the selected device.
Figure 13-75. IPv6 Interface
This screen contains the following fields:
Global Settings
- IPv6 Interface —The IPv6 interface that has been selected for configuration.
-
No of DAD Attempts —Defines the number of consecutive neighbor solicitation messages that
are sent on an interface while Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) is performed on unicast
IPv6 addresses on this interface. New addresses remain in a tentative state while duplicate
address detection is performed. A field value of 0, disables duplicate address detection
processing on the specified interface. A field value of 1, indicates a single transmission
without follow up transmissions. Range is 0-600, default is 1.
-
Autoconfiguration —Specifies whether IPv6 address assignment on an interface is done by
stateless auto configuration. When enabled, the router solicitation ND procedure is initiated
(to discover a router in order to assign an IP address to the interface based on prefixes received
with RA messages). When autoconfiguration is disabled, the device does no automatic
assignment of IPv6 Global Unicast addresses, and it removes existing automatically assigned
IPv6 Global Unicast addresses from the interface. Default is
Enabled .
