To configure the router to originate router advertisement messages on an interface, the interface must be configured under the router-advertisement context and be enabled (no shutdown). All other router advertisement configuration parameters are optional.
Use the following syntax to enable router advertisement and configure router advertisement parameters.
config>router# router-advertisement
interface ip-int-name
current-hop-limit number
managed-configuration
max-advertisement-interval seconds
min-advertisement-interval seconds
mtu mtu-bytes
other-stateful-configuration
prefix ipv6-prefix/prefix-length
autonomous
on-link
preferred-lifetime {seconds | infinite}
valid-lifetime {seconds | infinite}
reachable-time milli-seconds
retransmit-time milli-seconds
router-lifetime seconds
no shutdown
use-virtual-mac
The following is a sample router advertisement configuration output.
