Parameter
Router Lifetime
Retrans Timer
Reachable Time
Router Preference
The maximum interval for sending RA messages should be less than (or equal to) the router lifetime
in RA messages. In this way, the router can be updated by an RA message before expiration.
The values of the NS retransmission timer and the reachable time configured for an interface are
sent in RA messages to hosts. This interface sends NS messages at the interval of the NS
retransmission timer and considers a neighbor reachable within the reachable time.
Enabling sending of RA messages
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Enable sending of RA
messages.
4. Set the maximum and
minimum intervals for
sending RA messages.

Description
Tells the receiving hosts how long the advertising router can live. If the lifetime of
a router is 0, the router cannot be used as the default gateway.
If the device does not receive a response message within the specified time after
sending an NS message, it retransmits the NS message.
If the neighbor reachability detection shows that a neighbor is reachable, the
device considers the neighbor reachable within the specified reachable time. If
the device needs to send a packet to the neighbor after the specified reachable
time expires, the device reconfirms whether the neighbor is reachable.
Specifies the router preference in a RA message. A host selects a router as the
default gateway according to the router preference. If router preferences are the
same, the host selects the router from which the first RA message is received.
