Configuring IPv6 Neighbor Discovery
The IPv6 neighbor discovery process uses ICMPv6 messages and solicited-node multicast addresses to
determine the link-layer address of a neighbor on the same network (local link), verify the readability of
a neighbor, and keep track of neighboring routers. For information about how to configure IPv6
Neighbor Discovery in ASDM, see the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Configuration Guide using ASDM.
