Clearing the Neighbor Cache
When there is an event such as a topology change or an address change, the
neighbor cache may have too many entries to allow efficient use. Also, if an
unauthorized client is answering DAD or normal neighbor solicitations with
invalid replies, the neighbor cache may contain a large number of invalid
entries and communication with some valid hosts may fail and/or the show
ipv6 neighbors command output may become too cluttered to efficiently read.
In such cases, the fastest way to restore optimum traffic movement on a VLAN
may be to statically clear the neighbor table instead of waiting for the
unwanted entries to time-out.
