Configuring Router Advertisement Parameters

To configure the Router Advertisement parameters, use the following sample configuration:

config 
   profile icmpv6 icmpv6profile_name 
      options { hop-limit hop_limit | mtu mtu_size | reachable-time reachable_time | retrans-timer retrans_timer | router-lifetime router_lifetime | virtual-mac virtual_mac } 
      ra trigger handover { false | true } 
      end 

NOTES:

  • profile icmpv6 icmpv6profile_name : Specify the ICMPv6 profile name. icmpv6profile_name must be an alphanumeric string.

  • options { hop-limit hop_limit | mtu mtu_size | reachable-time reachable_time | retrans-timer retrans_timer | router-lifetime router_lifetime | virtual-mac virtual_mac } : Configure the ICMPv6 options.

    • hop-limit hop_limit : Configure the hop limit. hop_limit must be an integer in the range of 0–255. Default: 255.

    • mtu mtu_size : Configure the MTU size. Default: 1500.

      mtu_size must be an integer in the range of 1280-1500.

    • reachable-time reachable_time : Configure the reachable time in milliseconds. Default: 0.

      reachable_time must be an integer in the range of 0-3600.

    • retrans-timer retrans_timer : Configure the retransmission timer in milliseconds. Default: 0.

      retrans_timer must be an integer in the range of 0-4294968.

    • router-lifetime router_lifetime : Configure the router lifetime in seconds. router_lifetime must be an integer in the range of 0–65535. Default: 65535.

    • virtual-mac virtual_mac : Configure the local virtual MAC address.

  • ra trigger handover { false | true } : Configure the trigger to send router advertisements for Wi-Fi handovers.

Verifying the Configuration

Use the show running-config profile icmpv6 command to verify the Router Advertisement configuration.

The following configuration is an example output of the command:

[unknown] smf(config)# show running-config profile icmpv6 
profile icmpv6 icmpprf1
 options hop-limit 255
 options mtu   1500 
 options reachable-time 0
 options retrans-timer 0
 options router-lifetime 65535
 options virtual-mac b6:6d:57:45:45:45
 ra trigger handover true
exit
