Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP)
Network discovery protocol for IPv6 is supported by the Dell Force10 operating software (FTOS) on all E-Series, C-
Series, S-Series or S4810 platforms.
The neighbor discovery protocol for IPv6 is defined in RFC 2461 as part of the Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
protocol. It replaces the Address Resolution Protocol used with IPv4. NDP defines mechanisms for solving the following
problems:
•
Router discovery: Hosts can locate routers residing on a link
•
Prefix discovery: Hosts can discover address prefixes for the link
•
Parameter discovery
•
Address autoconfiguration — configuration of addresses for an interface
•
Address resolution — mapping from IP address to link-layer address
•
Next-hop determination
•
Neighbor unreachability detection (NUD): Determine that a neighbor is no longer reachable on the link.
•
Duplicate address detection (DAD): Allow a node to check whether a proposed address is already in use.
•
Redirect: The router can inform a node about a better first-hop.
NDP makes use of the following five ICMPv6 packet types in its implementation:
•
Router Solicitation
•
Router Advertisement
•
Neighbor Solicitation
•
Neighbor Advertisement
•
Redirect
clear ipv6 neighbors
Delete all entries in the IPv6 neighbor discovery cache or neighbors of a specific interface. Static entries are not
removed using this command.
E-Series, S4810
Syntax
clear ipv6 neighbors [
ipv6-address
] [
interface
]
Parameters
ipv6-address
Enter the IPv6 address of the neighbor in the x:x:x:x::x format to
remove a specific IPv6 neighbor.
NOTE: The :: notation specifies successive hexadecimal fields of
zero.
