Enter mgmtEthernet Interface Configuration mode:

enable

configure terminal

interface mgmtEthernet <mgmt | mgmt2>
Configure the number of neighbor solicitation messages from duplicate address detection:

ipv6 nd dad-ns <0–600>
Configure the hop limit sent in router advertisements:

ipv6 nd hop-limit <0–255>

Example

Switch:1(config-if)#ipv6 nd dad-ns 2
Switch:1(config-if)#ipv6 nd hop-limit 2

Variable definitions

Use the data in the following table to use the ipv6 nd command.


Variable	Value
dad-ns `<0–600>`	Specifies the number of neighbor solicitation messages for duplicate address detection (DAD). A value of 0 disables the DAD process on this interface. A value of 1 sends one advertisement without retransmissions. The default is 1.
hop-limit `<0–255>`	Specifies the current hop limit field sent in router advertisements from this interface. The value must be the current diameter of the Internet. A value of zero indicates that the advertisement does not specify a hop-limit value. The default is 64.
