Overview

autoconfiguration is part of Router Advertisement and the SecureStack C3 can support both stateless and stateful autoconfiguration of end nodes. The SecureStack C3 supports both EUI‐64 interface identifiers and manually configured interface IDs.

Refer to the following RFCs for more information about Neighbor Discovery and stateless address autoconfiguration:

RFC 2461, “Neighbor Discovery for IP Version 6”

RFC 2462, “IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration”

For ICMPv6, error PDU generation is supported, as are path MTU, echo, and redirect.

Router Advertisement is an integral part of IPv6 and is supported. Numerous options are available including stateless/stateful address configuration, router and address lifetimes, and Neighbor Discovery timer control. Ping and traceroute applications for IPv6 are provided.

Management of IPv6 features is provided by means of CLI commands and SNMP. See Chapter 21, IPv6 Management for descriptions of the CLI commands.
