Setting The Age Timer For Nd Entries In Stale State; Configuring Parameters Related To Ra Messages - HP 3600 v2 Series Configuration Manual

Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Configure the maximum
number of neighbors
dynamically learned by an
interface.

Setting the age timer for ND entries in stale state

ND entries in stale state have an age timer. If an ND entry in stale state is not refreshed before the timer
expires, it transits to the delay state. If it is still not refreshed in five seconds, the ND entry transits to the
probe state, and the device sends an NS message for detection. If no response is received, the device
removes the ND entry.
To set the age timer for ND entries in stale state:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Set the age timer for ND
entries in stale state.

Configuring parameters related to RA messages

You can enable an interface to send RA messages, and configure the interval for sending RA messages
and parameters in RA messages. After receiving an RA message, a host can use these parameters to
perform corresponding operations.
message.
The maximum interval for sending RA messages should be less than (or equal to) the router lifetime in RA
messages, so the router can be updated through an RA message before expiration.
The values of the NS retransmission timer and the reachable time configured for an interface are sent to
hosts via RA messages. Furthermore, this interface sends NS messages at the interval of the NS
retransmission timer and considers a neighbor reachable within the reachable time.

Description
When sending an IPv6 packet, a host uses the value to fill the Hop Limit field in IPv6
headers. The value is also filled into the Hop Limit field in the response packet of a
device.

By default, a Layer 2 interface does
not limit the number of neighbors
dynamically learned. A Layer 3
interface on the HP 3600 v2 EI
switch series can learn up to 4096
neighbors dynamically. A Layer 3
interface on the HP 3600 v2 SI
switch series can learn up to 1024
neighbors dynamically.
