Configure the NS Interval 
After a device sends an NS message, if it does not receive a response within a specific period, the 
device will send another NS message. You can configure the interval for sending NS messages.

Configure the neighbor reachable timeout time on an interface 
After a neighbor passed the reachability detection, the device considers the neighbor to be reachable in 
a specific period. However, the device will examine whether the neighbor is reachable again when there 
is a need to send packets to the neighbor after the neighbor reachable timeout time elapsed.

Configuring a Static IPv6 Route 
You can configure static IPv6 routes for network interconnection in a small sized IPv6 network.

Required 
By default, no static IPv6 route 
is configured. 
 
Configuring IPv6 TCP Properties 
The IPv6 TCP properties you can configure include: 
z  synwait timer: When a SYN packet is sent, the synwait timer is triggered. If no response packet is 
received before the synwait timer expires, the IPv6 TCP connection establishment fails.
