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 species 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 dened in RFC 2461 as part of the Stateless Address Autoconguration
protocol. It replaces the Address Resolution Protocol used with IPv4. It denes mechanisms for solving problems,
such as:
• Router discovery: Hosts can locate routers residing on a link.
• Prex discovery: Hosts can discover address prexes for the link.
• Parameter discovery .
• Address autoconguration — conguration of addresses for an interface .
• Address resolution — mapping from IP address to link-layer address.
• Next-hop determination.
