Configuring router advertisement

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
Example

The following is a sample router advertisement configuration output.

*A:sim131>config>router>router-advert# info

     interface "n1"
          prefix 2001:db8::/64
          exit
          use-virtual-mac
          no shutdown
     exit
----------------------------------------------
*A:sim131>config>router>router-advert# interface n1
*A:sim131>config>router>router-advert>if# prefix 2001:db8::/64
