Host vs. Router

To clear the neighbor cache counters, use the following command:

RS 8264CS(config)# clear ipv6 neighbors counters

Each IPv6 interface can be configured as a router node or a host node, as follows:

A router node's IP address is configured manually. Router nodes can send

Router Advertisements.

A host node's IP address can be autoconfigured. Host nodes listen for Router

Advertisements that convey information about devices on the network.

Note: When IP forwarding is turned on, all IPv6 interfaces configured on the

switch can forward packets.

You can configure each IPv6 interface as either a host node or a router node. You

can manually assign an IPv6 address to an interface in host mode, or the interface

can be assigned an IPv6 address by an upstream router, using information from

router advertisements to perform stateless auto‐configuration.

To set an interface to host mode, use the following command:

RS 8264CS(config)# interface ip <interface number>

RS 8264CS(config-ip-if)# ip6host

RS 8264CS(config-ip-if)# exit

The G8264CS supports up to 1156 IPv6 routes.
