establish continuous connectivity to the default router, the host starts the neighbor reachability state machine for
the router.
NOTE: ArubaOS uses Radvd, an open source Linux IPv6 Router Advertisement daemon maintained by Litech Systems Design.
You can perform the following tasks on the controller to enable, configure, and view the IPv6 RA status on a VLAN
interface:
l Configure IPv6 RA on a VLAN
l Configure Optional Parameters for RA
n Configure neighbor discovery reachable time
n Configure neighbor discovery retransmit time
n Configure RA DNS
n Configure RA hop-limit
n Configure RA interval
n Configure RA lifetime
n Configure RA managed configuration flag
n Configure RA MTU

Configuring an IPv6 RA on a VLAN
You must configure the IPv6 RA functionality on a VLAN for it to send solicited/unsolicited router advertisements
on the IPv6 network. You must do the following configurations for IPv6 RA to be operational on a VLAN:
l Configure IPv6 global unicast address
l Enable IPv6 RA
l Configure IPv6 RA prefix
NOTE: l The advertised IPv6 prefix length must be 64 bits for the stateless address autoconfiguration to be operational.
l You can configure up to three IPv6 prefixes per VLAN interface.
l Each IPv6 prefix must have an on-link interface address configured on the VLAN.
l Ensure that the upstream routers are configured to route the packets back to Dell controller.
You can use the WebUI or CLI to configure IPv6 RA on a VLAN.
Using WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Network > IP page and select the IP Interfaces tab.
2. Edit a VLAN # and select IP version as
IPv6
.
3. To configure an IPv6 global unicast address, follow the steps below:
a. Under Details, enter the IPv6 address and the prefix-length in the IP Address/Prefix-length field.
b. (Optional) Select the EUI64 Format check box, if applicable.
c. ClickAdd to add the address to the global address list.
