F3215-HP Load Balancing Module Network Management Configuration Guide-6PW101

The maximum interval for sending RA messages should be less than (or equal to) the router lifetime in RA
messages, so the router can be updated through an RA message before expiration.
The values of the NS retransmission timer and the reachable time configured for an interface are sent to
hosts through RA messages. Furthermore, this interface sends NS messages at the interval of the NS
retransmission timer and considers a neighbor reachable within the reachable time.

4. Configure the maximum and
minimum intervals for
sending RA messages.
ipv6 nd ra interval
max-interval-value
min-interval-value
Optional.
By default, the maximum interval for
sending RA messages is 600 seconds,
and the minimum interval is 200
seconds.
The device sends RA messages at
random intervals between the maximum
interval and the minimum interval.
The minimum interval should be less than
or equal to 0.75 times the maximum
interval.

By default, no prefix information is
configured for RA messages, and the
IPv6 address of the interface sending RA
messages is used as the prefix
information with valid lifetime 2592000
seconds (30 days) and preferred lifetime
604800 seconds (seven days).
