Assigning IPv6 addresses to a network device enables the device to communicate with other devices on the network. Usage Scenario IPv6 addresses must be configured for router interfaces so that the routers can communicate with IPv6 devices. Link-local addresses are used in neighbor discovery and ...
IPv6 IS-IS can be configured to discard a specified LSP in the following scenarios: 1. When devices on the entire network restart repeatedly due to abnormal LSPs and you have located the LSP that causes protocol restarts, you can configure this function as a last resort to prevent the devic...

IPv6 extends the address space by quadrupling the number of network address bits from 32 bits (in IPv4) to 128 bits, which provides many more globally unique IP addresses. By being globally unique, IPv6 addresses enable global reachability and end-to-end security for networked devices,...
contains both the IPv6 network prefix and its valid and preferred lifetimes. If indicated, a network prefix is combined with the interface identifier to create a stateless IPv6 address for the receiving interface. A network prefix also defines the range of addresses for nodes on the local link...
Internetworking Protocol (IP) addresses are the unique numeric identifiers required of every device connected to the Internet. Two years ago, in response to the exponential increase in demand for new IP addresses, the Internet Engineering Task Force finalized its revision on IP addressing, called IP...
For all of these methods, the IPv6 client always sends neighbor solicitation DAD (Duplicate Address Detection) request to ensure there is no duplicate IP address on the network. The switch snoops the client's NDP and DHCPv6 packets to learn about its client I...

It is also possible (but not recommended) to configure an IPv6 address manually. Manual configuration requires a lot of effort, is error-prone, and it’s hard to keep track of what IPv6 addresses are assigned to what clients. On a large network, a DHCPv6 server is preferable for performi...
