Sending or Suppressing IPv6 Router Advertisements Globally

When an IPv6 address is configured on an Ethernet interface, the interface sends router advertisements by default.

Procedure

  1. Access global configuration mode.
    device# configure terminal
    
  2. Use the ipv6 nd global-suppress-ra to enable the sending of RA messages on all interfaces.
    device(conf)# ipv6 nd global-suppress-ra
    Note

    Note

    The interface specific command overrides this global configuration.
  3. Use the ipv6 nd send-ra command to allow the user to keep some selected interfaces sending RA messages when ipv6 nd global-suppress-ra command is set.
    device (conf-if-eth-0/1)# ipv6 nd send-ra
  4. Use the ipv6 nd suppress-ra command to allow the user to selectively stop interfaces from sending RA messages when ipv6 nd global-suppress-ra command is not set.
    device (conf-if-eth-0/1)# ipv6 nd suppress-ra
  5. Use the ipv6 nd address command to allow a user to specify an address to be suppressed or all the addresses to be suppressed on a given interface.
    device (conf-if-eth-0/1)# ipv6 nd address 2001:DB8:12D:1300:240:D0FF:FE48:4672 suppress
