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
