ipv6 nd cache expire

Configures the time interval after which the Neighbor Discovery cache is deleted or refreshed.

Syntax

ipv6 nd cache expire seconds
no ipv6 nd cache expire seconds

Command Default

Default expiration time is 1500 seconds.

Parameters

seconds
Specifies how long an entry stays in the Neighbor Discovery cache. The range is from 30 through 14400 seconds. The default is 1500.

Modes

Interface subtype configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

Cache entries expire and are deleted if they remain in a "stale" state as defined by seconds.

You can modify the ND expiration time only at the interface level, but not at the global level.

The no form of this command restores the default aging timeout of 1500 seconds.

Examples

The following example sets the Neighbor Discovery expiration time to 2500 seconds on an Ethernet interface:

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/2
conf-if-eth-1/2)# ipv6 nd cache expire 2500
