LABEL DESCRIPTION
Interface Select the IPv6 interface you want to configure.
DAD Attempts The Switch uses Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) with neighbor solicitation and
advertisement messages to check whether an IPv6 address is already in use before
assigning it to an interface, such as the link-local address it creates through stateless
address autoconfiguration.
Specify the number of consecutive neighbor solicitations (from 0 to 600) the Switch
sends for this interface. Enter 0 to turn off DAD.
NS Interval Specify the time interval (from 1000 to 3600000 milliseconds) at which neighbor
solicitations are re-sent for this interface.
Reachable Time Specify how long (from 1000 to 3600000 milliseconds) a neighbor is considered
reachable for this interface.
