Enable or disable the RADVD process here to allow stateless auto configuration of the
IPv6 LAN network.
Two Advertise Modes:
• Unsolicited Multicast: Select to send router advertisements (RA's) to all the
interfaces belonging to the multicast group.
• Unicast Only: This option restricts advertisements to well known IPv6 addresses
only (RA's are sent to the interface belonging to the known address only).
If Advertise Mode = Unsolicited Multicast, this sets the maximum advertise interval. The
advertise interval used when RADVD is enabled is a random value between Minimum
Router Advertisement Interval and Maximum Router Advertisement Interval. The
minimum router advertisement interval is 1/3 of this configured value, and the default
is 30 seconds.
The router advertisements (RA's) can be sent with one or both of these flags: Managed
and Other. Choose Managed to use the administered /stateful protocol for address
auto configuration. If the Other flag is selected, the host uses administered/stateful
protocol for non-address auto configuration.
Choose between Low/Medium/High for the preference associated with the RADVD
process of the controller. This feature is useful if there are other RADVD enabled devices
on the LAN. The default is high.
This is used in RA's to ensure all nodes on the network use the same MTU value in the
cases where the LAN MTU is not well known. The default is 1500
The lifetime in seconds of the route. The default is 3600 seconds.
