Security: IPv6 First Hop Security
Router Advertisement Guard

specifies the perimeter.
Each IPv6 First Hop Security switch establishes binding for neighbors partitioned
by the edge. In this way, binding entries are distributed on IPv6 First Hop Security
devices forming the perimeter. The IPv6 First Hop Security devices can then
provide binding integrity to the inside of the perimeter, without setting up bindings
for all the addresses on each device.
Router Advertisement Guard
Router Advertisement (RA) Guard is the first FHS feature that treats trapped RA
messages. RA Guard supports the following functions:
• Filtering of received RA, CPA, and ICMPv6 redirect messages.
• Validation of received RA messages.

Messages

message is sent.
