Conversational Neighbor Discovery

In many scenarios, software requirements for ND entries are beyond the capacity of the hardware. Conversational ANDRP limits storage-in-hardware to active ND entries. Aged-out entries are deleted automatically.

By default, the aging-out threshold is 300 seconds. You can change the threshold to any value from 60 through 100,000 seconds, either before or during enablement. Entries that do not have at least one conversation before aging-out are deleted from the cache. Each conversation restarts the clock for that entry.

Aging-out is also influenced by the enablement and disablement cycle:

Static NDs are not subject to conversational behavior.
