Procedure

  1. Enter mgmtEthernet Interface Configuration mode:

    enable

    configure terminal

    interface mgmtEthernet <mgmt | mgmt2>

  2. Configure the number of neighbor solicitation messages from duplicate address detection:

    ipv6 nd dad-ns <0–600>

  3. 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
Switch:1(config-if)#show ipv6 nd interface mgmtethernet mgmt
