Displaying local IPv6 routers
The Brocade device can function as an IPv6 host, instead of an IPv6 router, if you configure IPv6
addresses on its interfaces but do not enable IPv6 routing using the ipv6 unicast-routing
command.
From the IPv6 host, you can display information about IPv6 routers to which the host is connected.
The host learns about the routers through their router advertisement messages. To display
information about the IPv6 routers connected to an IPv6 host, enter the following command at any
CLI level.
