Configuring IPv6 Neighbor Discovery

The Neighbor Discovery (ND) protocol in IPv6 is a replacement for IPv4 ARP messages. The protocol uses
ICMPv6 messages with for various purposes including:
• Find a link-layer address of a neighbor
• Discover neighbor routers
• Determine any change in the link-layer address
• Determine when a neighbor is down
• Send network information from routers to hosts, which includes hop limit, MTU size, determining the network
prefix used on a link, address auto configuration, and the default route information
The Neighbor Discovery protocol uses five types of ICMPv6 messages:
• Router Solicitation (ICMPv6 type 133)
This message is sent by hosts to routers as a request to router advertisement message. It uses a destination
multicast address (i.e. FF02::2).
• Router Advertisement Messages (ICMPv6 type 134)
This message is used by routers to announce its presence in a network. The message includes network
information related to IPv6 prefixes, default route, MTU size, hop limit and auto configuration flag. It uses a
destination multicast address (i.e. FF02::1).
• Neighbor Solicitation Messages (ICMPv6 type 135)
This message is sent by hosts to determine the existence of another host on the same. The goal is to find the
link-layer of neighbor nodes on the same link.
