show ipv6 neighbors

Use this command to display configured entries in the IPv6 neighbor discovery cache.

Syntax

show ipv6 neighbors [ipv6-address] [group] [interface interface] [verbose] [statistics]

Parameters

ipv6-address (Optional) Specifies the IPv6 address to display.
group (Optional) Displays neighbor entries in groups of 5, delineated by a line-break.
interface interface (Optional) Specifies that only entries for the specified interface should display.
verbose (Optional) Specifies that additional information should display regardless of terminal column size.
statistics (Optional) Specifies that various IPv6 neighbor cache statistics should display.

Defaults

If ipv6-address is not specified, all IPv6 address entries will display.

If group is not specified, all interfaces are displayed without line-breaks.

If interface interface is not specified, all interfaces will display.

If verbose is not specified, the default level of data based upon options specified will display.

If statistics is not specified, entry information will display.

Mode

All command modes.

Examples

The following example shows how to display information for all learned IPv6 neighbor entries in the neighbor discovery cache:

System(su)->show ipv6 neighbors
FLAGS:    I = Incomplete     R = Reachable
          S = Stale          D = Delay
          P = Probe          L = Local
          F = Fixed (Static) H = Host Interest
          V = VRRP           2 = Secondary VLAN
Note: Additional information is available by using the 'verbose' option or by
increasing the size of your terminal columns to 111 (use 'set width')

Show IPv6 Neighbors Output Display

Output... What it displays...
IPv6 address An IPv6 address of a neighbor entry.
Hardware Address The MAC address of an IPv6 neighbor entry.
Flg Zero or more flags associated with an IPv6 neighbor entry:
  • I – The entry is currently in address resolution
  • R – The entry is reachable
  • S – The entry is stale
  • D – A short random state of delay prior to initiating a probe
  • P – A probe is active for this entry
  • L – This entry is a local entry
  • F – This is a static entry
  • H – Host Interest: The ARP entry has been used for direct communication with the router as opposed to communication between hosts that pass through the router.
  • 2 – Secondary VLAN Entry: The ARP entry belongs to a host on a Secondary VLAN.
Age The length of time this entry has existed.
Updated The length of time since the last update for this entry.
Expire The length of time before this entry moves from its current state to the next state.
Interface The interface the ARP entry is assigned to.
Port The host port for this entry.
