IPv6 Addressing
IPv6 Address Deprecation
Notes Preferred and valid lifetimes on a VLAN interface are determined by the router
advertisements received on the interface. These values are not affected by the
lease time assigned to an address by a DHCPv6 server. That is, lease expiration
on a DHCPv6-assigned address terminates use of the address, regardless of
the status of the RA-assigned lifetime, and router-assigned lifetime expiration
of a leased address terminates the switch’s use of the address. (The router-
assigned lifetime can be extended by receipt of a new router advertisement.)
Statically configured IPv6 addresses are regarded as permanent addresses,
and do not expire.
