IPv6 Management Features
Introduction
Introduction
This chapter focuses on the IPv6 application of management features in
software release K.13.01 that support both IPv6 and IPv4 operation. For
additional information on these features, refer to the current Management
and Configuration Guide for your switch.
Viewing and Clearing the IPv6 Neighbors
Cache
Neighbor discovery occurs when there is communication between the switch
and another, reachable IPv6 device on the same VLAN. A neighbor destination
is reachable from a given source address if a confirmation (neighbor solicita-
tion) has been received at the source verifying that traffic has been received
at the destination.
The switch maintains an IPv6 neighbor cache that is populated as a result of
communication with other devices on the same VLAN. You can view and clear
the contents of the neighbor cache using the commands described in this
section.
Anycast Addresses. Multiple, duplicate addresses configured as Anycast
on different devices are special cases of unicast addresses and are not identi-
fied as duplicates by the Neighbor Discovery process. Refer to “Anycast
Addresses” on page 3-20.
