Advertisement Prefixes for the LAN
You need to configure the prefixes that are advertised in the LAN RAs. For a 6to4 address,
you need to specify only the site level aggregation identifier (SLA ID) and the prefix lifetime.
For a global, local, or ISATAP address, you need to specify the prefix, prefix length, and prefix
lifetime.
To add an advertisement prefix for the LAN:
1. On
the RADVD screen for the LAN, under the List of Prefixes to Advertise table, click
Add. The Add Advertisement Prefix screen displays:
Advertise Interval Enter the advertisement interval of unsolicited multicast packets in seconds. The
minimum value is 10 seconds; the maximum value is 1800 seconds.
RA Flags Specify what type of information the DHCPv6 server provides in the LAN by making a
selection from the drop-down list:
• Managed.
The DHCPv6 server is used for autoconfiguration of the IP address.
• Other. The DHCPv6 server is not used for autoconfiguration of the IP address, but
other configuration information such as DNS information is available through the
DHCPv6 server.
Note: Irrespective of the RA flag settings, the RADVD provides information about the
pre
fix, prefix length, and gateway addresses and is also used for autoconfiguration of
the IP address.

ce in relation to other hosts and routers in
the LAN by making a selection from the drop-down list:

the router advertisement should remain valid.
