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:

Configure IPv6 RA on a VLAN

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

n Configure RA other configuration flag n Configure RA Preference

n Configure RA prefix

View IPv6 RA Status

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:

Configure IPv6 global unicast address

Enable IPv6 RA

Configure IPv6 RA prefix

NOTE: The advertised IPv6 prefix length must be 64 bits for the stateless address autoconfiguration to be operational.

You can configure up to three IPv6 prefixes per VLAN interface.

Each IPv6 prefix must have an on-link interface address configured on the VLAN.

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-lengthfield.

b.(Optional) Select the EUI64 Format check box, if applicable.

c.ClickAdd to add the address to the global address list.
