The ND logging feature logs source MAC inconsistency events, and sends the log messages to the information center. The information center can then output log messages from different source modules to different destinations. For more information about the information center, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.

As a best practice, disable the ND logging feature to avoid excessive ND logs.

Examples

# Enable the ND logging feature.

Parameters

off: Specifies the advertised M flag as 0

on: Specifies the advertised M flag as 1.

Usage guidelines

The M flag in an RA message determines whether a receiving host uses stateful autoconfiguration to obtain an IPv6 address.

· If the M flag is set to 1, the host uses stateful autoconfiguration, for example, uses a DHCPv6 server.

· If the M flag is set to 0, the host uses stateless autoconfiguration. In stateless autoconfiguration, the host generates an IPv6 address according to its link-layer address and the prefix information in the RA message.

Examples

# Specify on as the M flag match criterion for the RA guard policy policy1.

Parameters

interface interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface by its type and number. If you do not specify an interface, this command displays statistics about ND keepalive entry scanning for all interfaces.

slot slot-number: Specifies an IRF member device by its member ID. If you do not specify a member device, this command displays statistics about ND keepalive entry scanning on all member devices.

Usage guidelines

Interfaces enabled with ND keepalive entry scanning send NS packets to the IPv6 addresses in offline ND keepalive entries until the entries restore online state. This command displays the number of the NS packets sent the IPv6 addresses in the offline keepalive entries in the last five seconds, one minute, and five minutes.

A great many NS packets indicate that the number of offline keepalive entries is great or some offline entries remain in offline state for a long time. The reasons and solutions are as follows:

1. Use the display ipv6 nd scan keepalive entry command to identify the number of offline keepalive entries.

2. If the number of offline keepalive entries is large, check the aging time set for offline keepalive entries. Shorten the aging time if it is too long.

3. If the aging time is proper, the problem might be caused by too many abnormal user offline events. In this case, check the network configuration and condition.

4. If the number of offline keepalive entries is not large, the problem might be because some offline keepalive entries cannot restore online state through NS packets. In this case, troubleshoot according to the offline entries.

Examples

# Display statistics about NS packets sent the IPv6 addresses in offline keepalive entries on slot 1.

Parameters

time: Specifies the aging time for ND keepalive entries in minutes. The value range for this argument is 1 to 1440.

Usage guidelines

With ND keepalive entry scanning enabled, the device generates a keepalive entry in online state for a user that comes online. If the user goes offline abnormally, the device will perform the following tasks:

· Set the state of the keepalive entry for that user to offline state.

· Delete the keepalive entry if its state does not restore to online after the aging time elapses.

To enable ND keepalive entry scanning, use the ipv6 nd scan keepalive enable command.

Usage guidelines

In a large-scale network, it takes a long time for ND scanning to identify the hosts that go offline abnormally if you specify a large scanning range. After you enable ND keepalive entry scanning, the system can quickly locate those hosts and monitor the host status within the aging time.

When users come online, the system generates ND entries and IPSG binding entries. Enabled with ND keepalive entry scanning, the system also creates online keepalive entries when users come online. If users go offline, the corresponding ND entries are deleted and the status of the keepalive entries is set to offline. The device sends NS packets at intervals to the IPv6 addresses in the offline keepalive entries until the keepalive entries become online again.

The interval varies with the number of NS packets that have been sent to the IPv6 address in an offline keepalive entry:

· If the number is not greater than 50, the device sends an NS packet every 30 seconds.

· If the number is greater than 50 but not greater than 100, the device sends an NS packet every 45 seconds.

· If the number is greater than 100, the device sends an NS packet every 60 seconds.

To view the keepalive entries, use the display ipv6 nd scan keepalive entry command.

For more information about IP source guard configuration, see Security Configuration Guide.

By default, the aging time for ND keepalive entries is 60 minutes. The offline keepalive entries are deleted when the aging time expires.

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

pps: Specifies the NS packet sending rate, in packets per second (pps). The value range for this argument is 10 to 1000, and the value must be a multiple of 10.

Usage guidelines

Enabled with keepalive entry scanning, the interface sends NS packets to the IPv6 addresses in the offline keepalive entries. To avoid any impact on the device performance, use this command to set the NS packet sending rate for keepalive entry scanning.

If the status of a keepalive entry is set to offline and does not become online within an interval, the keepalive entry is to be scanned. The interface sends an NS packet per second to the IPv6 address in each keepalive entry to be scanned.

The NS packet sending rate is the maximum number of scanned keepalive entries per second.

· If the number of keepalive entries to be scanned per second is lower than the sending rate, the device scans all these keepalive entries within a second.

· If the number of keepalive entries to be scanned per second is greater than the sending rate, the device scans the keepalive entries at the sending rate.

When you set the sending rate to a large value, the device might use a rate lower than the specified rate to ensure the device performance.

Examples

# Set the NS packet sending rate to 10 pps during keepalive entry scanning.
