• Router—Specifies whether the neighbor is a router (Yes or No). 
STEP  2 To add a neighbor to the table, click Add.
STEP  3 Enter values for the following fields:
• Interface—The neighboring IPv6 interface to be added.
• IPv6 Address—Enter the IPv6 network address assigned to the interface. 
The address must be a valid IPv6 address.
• MAC Address—Enter the MAC address mapped to the specified IPv6 
address.
STEP  4 Click Apply. The Running Configuration file is updated.
STEP  5 To change the type of an IP address from Dynamic to Static, select the address, 
click Edit and use the Edit IPv6 Neighbors page.
IPv6 Prefix List
When First Hop Security is configured, it is possible to define rules for filtering 
based on IPv6 prefixes. These lists can be defined in the IPv6 Prefix List page.
Prefix lists are configured with permit or deny keywords to either permit or deny a 
prefix based on a matching condition. An implicit deny is applied to traffic that 
does not match any prefix-list entry.
A prefix-list entry consists of an IP address and a bit mask. The IP address can be 
for a classful network, a subnet, or a single host route. The bit mask is a number 
from 1 to 32.
Prefix lists are configured to filter traffic based on a match of an exact prefix length 
or a match within a range when the ge and le keywords are used. 
The Greater Than and Lower Than parameters are used to specify a range of 
prefix lengths and provide more flexible configuration than using only the network/
length argument. A prefix list is processed using an exact match when neither the 
Greater Than nor Lower Than parameter is specified. If only the Greater Than 
parameter is specified, the range is the value entered for Greater Than to a full 32-
bit length. If only Lower Than is specified, the range is from the value entered for 
the network/length argument to the Lower Than. If both the Greater Than and 
Lower Than arguments are entered, the range is between the values used for 
Greater Than and Greater Than.
