Configure IPv6 Static Neighbor Entries

A static entry in the ND cache causes a neighbor to be reachable at all times

About this task

If a neighbor cannot be reached by means of Neighbor Discovery (ND), you can add a static entry to the ND cache. A static IPv6 ND entry is like a static IPv4 ARP entry.

device(config-if-eth-3/5)# ipv6 neighbor 2001:db8:2678::2 0000.002b.8641

Procedure

  1. Access global configuration mode.
    device# configuration terminal
  2. Access interface configuration mode.
    device (config)# interface ethernet 3/5
  3. Add a static entry for a neighbor.
    This example adds a static entry for a neighbor with IPv6 address 2001:db8:2678::2 and link-layer address 0000.002b.8641, reachable through interface ethernet 3/5.
    device(config-if-eth-3/5)# ipv6 neighbor 2001:db8:2678::2 0000.002b.8641
