ipv6-router-advertisement-policy

Creates an IPv6 RA policy and enters its configuration mode. An IPv6 router policy allows routers to advertise their presence in response to solicitation messages. After receiving a neighbor solicitation message, the destination node sends an advertisement message. which includes the link layer address of the source node. After receiving the advertisement, the destination device replies with a neighbor advertisement message on the local link. After the source receives the advertisement it can communicate with other devices.

Advertisement messages are also sent to indicate a change in link layer address for a node on the local link. With such a change, the multicast address becomes the destination address for advertisement messages.

Supported in the following platforms:

• Access Points — AP505i, AP510i/e, AP560i/h
• Service Platforms — NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600, VX9000

Syntax

ipv6-router-advertisement-policy <POLICY-NAME>

Parameters

ipv6-router-advertisement-policy <POLICY-NAME>

<POLICY-NAME> Specify an IPv6 RA policy name. If a policy with the specified name does not exist, it is created.
