Configuring a static neighbor entry
A neighbor entry stores information about a link-local node. The entry can be created dynamically through NS and NA messages, or configured statically.
The device uniquely identifies a static neighbor entry by using the neighbor's IPv6 address and the number of the Layer 3 interface that connects to the neighbor. You can configure a static neighbor entry by using one of the following methods:
Method 1—Associate a neighbor's IPv6 address and link-layer address with the local Layer 3 interface.
If you use Method 1, the device automatically finds the Layer 2 port connected to the neighbor.
Method 2—Associate a neighbor's IPv6 address and link-layer address with a Layer 2 port in a VLAN.
If you use Method 2, make sure the Layer 2 port belongs to the specified VLAN and the corresponding VLAN interface already exists. The device associates the VLAN interface with the neighbor IPv6 address to identify the static neighbor entry.
To configure a static neighbor entry:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Configure a static neighbor entry. | ipv6 neighbor ipv6-address mac-address { vlan-id port-type port-number | interface interface-type interface-number } | By default, no static neighbor entries exist. |
