Parameters
vrf vrf-name (Optional) Enter the keyword vrf followed by the name of the VRF to install IPv6 routes in
that VRF.
ipv6-address Enter the IPv6 address of the neighbor in the x:x:x:x::x format.
NOTE: The :: notation species successive hexadecimal elds of zero.
interface interface Enter the keyword interface then the interface type and slot/port or number
information:
• For a 1-GigabitEthernet interface, enter the keyword GigabitEthernet then the
slot/port information.
•
For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then
the slot/port information.
• For a Loopback interface, enter the keyword loopback then a number from 0 to
16383.
• For a port channel interface, enter the keywords port-channel then a number.
• 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.
hardware_address Enter a 48-bit hardware MAC address in nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn format.

Usage Information
Neighbor Discovery Protocol for IPv6 is dened in RFC 2461 as part of the Stateless Address Autoconguration
protocol. It replaces the Address Resolution Protocol used with IPv4. It denes mechanisms for solving problems,
such as:
• Router discovery: Hosts can locate routers residing on a link.
• Prex discovery: Hosts can discover address prexes for the link.
• Parameter discovery .
• Address autoconguration — conguration of addresses for an interface .
• Address resolution — mapping from IP address to link-layer address.
• Next-hop determination.
