Field Description
Status Toggle to ON to enable this feature.
Advertise Mode
Select Unsolicited Multicast to send router advertisements (RA’s) to all interfaces in the multicast group.
To restrict RA’s to well-known IPv6 addresses on the LAN, and thereby reduce overall network trac,
select Unicast only.
Advertise Interval
When advertisements are unsolicited multicast packets, this interval sets the maximum time between
advertisements from the interface. The actual duration between advertisements is a random value
between one third of this eld and this eld. The default is 30 seconds.
Managed
Toggle to ON to use the administered/stateful protocol for address auto-conguration. If set to OFF, the
host uses administered/stateful protocol for non-address auto conguration.
Other Toggle to ON to use administered/stateful protocol of other (i.e., non-address) information auto conguration.
Router Preference
This parameter (low/medium/high) determines the preference associated with the RADVD process of the
router. This is useful if there are other RADVD-enabled devices on the LAN as it helps avoid conicts for
IPv6 clients.
MTU
The router advertisement will set this maximum transmission unit (MTU) value for all nodes in the LAN
that are auto-congured by the router. The default is 1500.
Router Lifetime
This value is present in RAs and indicates the usefulness of this router as a default router for the interface.
The default is 3600 seconds. Upon expiration of this value, a new RADVD exchange must take place
between the host and this router.

Router Advertisements are analogous to IPv4 DHCP assignments for LAN clients, in that the router will assign
an IP address and supporting network information to devices that are congured to accept such details. Router
Advertisement is required in an IPv6 network is required for stateless auto conguration of the IPv6 LAN.
By conguring the Router Advertisement Daemon on this router, the router will listen on the LAN for router
solicitations and respond to these LAN hosts with router advisements.
