Minimizing link-local ND entries

About minimizing link-local ND entries

Perform this task to minimize link-local ND entries assigned to the hardware. Link-local ND entries refer to ND entries that contain link-local addresses.

By default, the device assigns all ND entries to the hardware. With this feature enabled, the newly learned link-local ND entries are not assigned to the hardware if the link-local addresses of the entries are not the next hops of any routes. This feature saves hardware resources.

This feature takes effect only on newly learned link-local ND entries.
