HPE FlexFabric 5950 Series Command Reference

232
Parameters
value: Specifies the number of hops, in the range of 1 to 255.
Usage guidelines
The hop limit determines the number of hops that an IPv6 packet generated by the device can travel.
The device advertises the hop limit in RA messages. All RA message receivers use the advertised
value to fill in the Hop Limit field for IPv6 packets to be sent. To disable the device from advertising
the hop limit, use the ipv6 nd ra hop-limit unspecified command.
Examples
# Set the maximum number of hops to 100.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] ipv6 hop-limit 100
Related commands
ipv6 nd ra hop-limit unspecified
ipv6 hoplimit-expires enable
Use ipv6 hoplimit-expires enable to enable sending ICMPv6 time exceeded messages.
Use undo ipv6 hoplimit-expires to disable sending ICMPv6 time exceeded messages.
Syntax
ipv6 hoplimit-expires enable
undo ipv6 hoplimit-expires enable
Default
Sending ICMPv6 time exceeded messages is enabled.
Views
System view
Predefined user roles
network-admin
Usage guidelines
ICMPv6 time exceeded messages are sent to the source of IPv6 packets after the device discards
IPv6 packets because hop or reassembly times out.
To prevent too many ICMPv6 error messages from affecting device performance, disable this feature.
Even with the feature disabled, the device still sends fragment reassembly time exceeded
messages.
Examples
# Disable sending ICMPv6 time exceeded messages.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] undo ipv6 hoplimit-expires enable
ipv6 icmpv6 error-interval
Use ipv6 icmpv6 error-interval to set the bucket size and the interval for tokens to arrive in the
bucket for ICMPv6 error messages.
Use undo ipv6 icmpv6 error-interval to restore the default.
