13.1 Router Advertisement

— Interface Command: no ipv6 nd supress-ra

Send router advertisment messages.

— Interface Command: ipv6 nd supress-ra

Don't send router advertisment messages.

— Interface Command: ipv6 nd prefix ipv6prefix [valid-lifetime] [preferred-lifetime] [off-link] [no-autconfig]

Configuring the IPv6 prefix to include in router advertisements. Several prefix specific optional parameters and flags may follow:

— Interface Command: ipv6 nd ra-interval SECONDS
— Interface Command: no ipv6 nd ra-interval

The maximum time allowed between sending unsolicited multicast router advertisements from the interface, in seconds. Must be no less than 3 seconds.

Default: 600

— Interface Command: ipv6 nd ra-lifetime SECONDS
— Interface Command: no ipv6 nd ra-lifetime

The value to be placed in the Router Lifetime field of router advertisements sent from the interface, in seconds. Indicates the usefulness of the router as a default router on this interface. Setting the value to zero indicates that the router should not be considered a default router on this interface. Must be either zero or between value specified with ipv6 nd ra-interval (or default) and 9000 seconds.

Default: 1800

— Interface Command: ipv6 nd reachable-time MILLISECONDS
— Interface Command: no ipv6 nd reachable-time

The value to be placed in the Reachable Time field in the Router Advertisement messages sent by the router, in milliseconds. The configured time enables the router to detect unavailable neighbors. The value zero means unspecified (by this router). Must be no greater than 3,600,000 milliseconds (1 hour).

Default: 0

— Interface Command: ipv6 nd managed-config-flag
— Interface Command: no ipv6 nd managed-config-flag

Default: not set

— Interface Command: ipv6 nd other-config-flag
— Interface Command: no ipv6 nd other-config-flag

Set/unset flag in IPv6 router advertisements which indicates to hosts that they should use administered (stateful) protocol to obtain autoconfiguration information other than addresses.
