5 - 90 WiNG 5.6 Access Point System Reference Guide
12. Select Unicast Routing to enable IPv6 unicast routing for this profile. Keeping unicast enabled allows the profile’s
neighbor advertisements and solicitations in unicast (as well as multicast) to provide better neighbor discovery. This setting
is enabled by default.
13. Select Unique Local Address Reject Route to enable rejecting local routes in the format FC00::/7.
14. Set a System NS Retransmit Interval (from 1,000 to 3,600,000 milliseconds) as the interval between neighbor
solicitation (NS) messages. NS messages are sent by a node to determine the link layer address of a neighbor, or verify a
neighbor is still reachable via a cached link-layer address. The default is 1,000 milliseconds.
15. Set a System ND Reachable Time (from 5,000 to 3,600,000 milliseconds) as the time a neighbor is assumed to be
reachable after receiving a receiving a neighbor discovery (ND) confirmation for their reachability. The default is 30,000
milliseconds.
16. Set an IPv6 Hop Count (from 1 - 255) as the maximum number of hops considered valid when sending IP packets. The
default setting is 64.
17. Set the Router Advertisement Conversion to Unicast settings:
18. Select + Add Row as needed within the IPv6 Routes table to add an additional 256 IPv6 route resources.

RA Convert
(milliseconds)
Select this option to convert multicast router advertisements (RA) to unicast router
advertisements at the dot11 layer. Unicast addresses identify a single network interface,
whereas a multicast address is used by multiple hosts. This setting is disabled by default.
Throttle Select this option to throttle RAs before converting to unicast. Once enabled, set the throttle
interval and maximum number of RAs. This setting is disabled by default.
Throttle Interval
(milliseconds)
Enable this setting to define the throttle interval (3 - 1,800 seconds). The default setting is
3 seconds.
Max RAs Enable this setting to define the maximum number of router advertisements per router (1 -
256) during the throttle interval. The default setting is 1.
Network Address Set the IPv6 network address. Other than the length and slightly different look versus an
IPv4 address, the IPv6 address concept is same as IPv4.
Gateway Set the IPv6 route gateway. A network gateway in IPv6 is the same as in IPv4. A gateway
address designates how traffic is routed out of the current subnet.
Interface If using a link local address, set the VLAN (1 - 4,094) used a virtual routing interface for the
local address.
