This chapter focuses on the IPv6 application of management features in software release K.13.01 that support both IPv6 and IPv4 operation. For additional information on these features, refer to the current Management and Configuration Guide for your switch.

Viewing and Clearing the IPv6 NeighborsCache

Neighbor discovery occurs when there is communication between the switch and another, reachable IPv6 device on the same VLAN. A neighbor destination is reachable from a given source address if a confirmation (neighbor solicita­ tion) has been received at the source verifying that traffic has been received at the destination.

The switch maintains an IPv6 neighbor cache that is populated as a result of communication with other devices on the same VLAN. You can view and clear the contents of the neighbor cache using the commands described in this section.

Anycast Addresses. Multiple, duplicate addresses configured as Anycast on different devices are special cases of unicast addresses and are not identi­ fied as duplicates by the Neighbor Discovery process. Refer to “Anycast Addresses” on page 3-20.
