IPv6 basics configuration task list
Task Remarks
Configuring basic IPv6
functions
Enabling IPv6 Required.
Configuring an IPv6 global unicast address
Required to
configure one.
Configuring an IPv6 link-local address
Configure an IPv6 anycast address
Configuring IPv6 ND
Configuring a static neighbor entry Optional.
Configuring the maximum number of neighbors
dynamically learned
Optional.
Setting the aging timer for ND entries in stale state Optional.
Configuring parameters related to RA messages Optional.
Configuring the maximum number of attempts to
send an NS message for DAD
Optional.
Configuring path MTU
discovery
Configuring the interface MTU Optional.
Configuring a static path MTU for a specific IPv6
address
Optional.
Configuring the aging time for dynamic path MTUs Optional.
Configuring IPv6 TCP properties Optional.
Configuring ICMPv6 packet
sending
Configuring the maximum ICMPv6 error packets sent
in a
n interval
Optional.
Enabling replying to multicast echo requests Optional.

Enabling IPv6
Enable IPv6 before you perform any IPv6-related configuration. Without IPv6 enabled, an interface
cannot forward IPv6 packets even if it has an IPv6 address configured.
