IPv6 Interface field descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the IPv6 Interface tab.

Name

Description

Interface

Identifies the unique IPv6 interface.

Descr

Specifies a textual string containing information about the interface. The network management system also configures the Descr string.

Type

Specifies the type of interface.

ReasmMaxSize(MTU)

Configures the MTU for this IPv6 interface. This value must be the same for all the IP addresses defined on this interface. The default value is 1500.

PhysAddress

Specifies the physical address for the interface. For example, for an IPv6 interface attached to an 802.x link, this value is a MAC address.

AdminStatus

Configures the indication of whether IPv6 is activated (up) or disabled (down) on this interface. This object does not affect the state of the interface, only the interface connection to an IPv6 stack. The default is false (cleared).

ReachableTime

Configures the time, in milliseconds, that the system considers a neighbor reachable after it receives a reachability confirmation. The value is in a range from 0–3600000. The default value is 30000.

RetransmitTimer

Configures the time between retransmissions of neighbor solicitation messages to a neighbor; during address resolution or neighbor reachability discovery. The value is expressed in milliseconds in a range from 0–3600000. The default value is 1000.

CurHopLimit

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 value for the current hop limit. The default is 64.
