7.7 IPv6 Router Advertisement Policy

Network Configuration
An IPv6 router policy allows routers to advertise their presence in response to solicitation messages. After receiving a neighbor
solicitation message, the destination node sends an advertisement message. which includes the link layer address of the
source node. After receiving the advertisement, the destination device replies with a neighbor advertisement message on the
local link. After the source receives the advertisement it can communicate with other devices.
Advertisement messages are also sent to indicate a change in link layer address for a node on the local link. With such a
change, the multicast address becomes the destination address for advertisement messages.
To define a IPv6 router advertisement policy:
1. Select Configuration
2. Select Add to create a new IPv6 router advertisement policy,
