DESCRIPTION
Interface
Select the IPv6 interface you want to configure.
DAD Attempts
The Switch uses Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) with neighbor solicitation and
advertisement messages to check whether an IPv6 address is already in use before
assigning it to an interface, such as the link-local address it creates through stateless
address autoconfiguration.
Specify the number of consecutive neighbor solicitations (from 0 to 600) the Switch
sends for this interface. Enter 0 to turn off DAD.
NS Interval
Specify the time interval (from 1000 to 3600000 milliseconds) at which neighbor
solicitations are re-sent for this interface.
Reachable Time
Specify how long (from 1000 to 3600000 milliseconds) a neighbor is considered
reachable for this interface.
Apply
Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses
these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top
navigation panel to save your changes to the nonvolatile memory when you are done
configuring.
Cancel
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
Clear
Click Clear to reset the fields to the factory defaults.
Index
This is the interface index number. Click on an index number to change the settings.
Interface
This is the name of the IPv6 interface you created.
DAD Attempts
This field displays the number of consecutive neighbor solicitations the Switch sends
for this interface.
NS Interval
This field displays the time interval (in milliseconds) at which neighbor solicitations are
re-sent for this interface.
Reachable Time
This field displays how long (in milliseconds) a neighbor is considered reachable for
this interface.
