IPv6 Neighbor Discovery
SUMMARY Neighbor discovery is a protocol used for IPv6 traffic that allows different nodes on the same link to advertise their existence to their neighbors, and to learn about the existence of their neighbors.
IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Overview
Neighbor discovery is a protocol that allows different nodes on the same link to advertise their existence to their neighbors, and to learn about the existence of their neighbors.
Routers and hosts (nodes) use Neighbor Discovery (ND) messages to determine the link-layer addresses of neighbors that reside on attached links and to overwrite invalid cache entries. Hosts also use ND to find neighboring routers that can forward packets on their behalf.
In addition, nodes use ND to actively track the ability to reach neighbors. When a router (or the path to a router) fails, nodes actively search for alternatives to reach the destination.
This section discusses the following topics:
Improvements Over IPv4 Protocols
IPv6 Neighbor Discovery corresponds to a number of the IPv4 protocols — ARP, ICMP Router Discovery, and ICMP Redirect. However, Neighbor Discovery provides many improvements over the IPv4 set of protocols. These improvements address the following:
Router discovery—How a host locates routers residing on an attached link.
Prefix discovery—How a host discovers address prefixes for destinations residing on an attached link. Nodes use prefixes to distinguish between destinations that reside on an attached link and those destinations that it can reach only through a router.
Parameter discovery—How a node learns various parameters (link parameters or Internet parameters) that it places in outgoing packets.
Address resolution—How a node uses only a destination IPv6 address to determine a link-layer address for destinations on an attached link.
Next-hop determination—The algorithm that a node uses for mapping an IPv6 destination address into a neighbor IPv6 address (either the next router hop or the destination itself) to which it plans to send traffic for the destination.
Neighbor unreachability detection—How a node determines that it can no longer reach a neighbor.
Duplicate address detection—How a node determines whether an address is already in use by another node.
A router periodically multicasts a router advertisement from each of its multicast interfaces, announcing its availability. Hosts listen for these advertisements for address autoconfiguration and discovery of link-local addresses of the neighboring routers. When a host starts, it multicasts a router solicitation to ask for immediate advertisements.
The router discovery messages do not constitute a routing protocol. They enable hosts to discover the existence of neighboring routers, but are not used to determine which router is best to reach a particular destination.
Neighbor discovery uses the following Internet Control Message Protocol version 6 (ICMPv6) messages: router solicitation, router advertisement, neighbor solicitation, neighbor advertisement, and redirect.
Neighbor discovery for IPv6 replaces the following IPv4 protocols: router discovery (RDISC), Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), and ICMPv4 redirect.
Junos OS Release 9.3 and later supports Secure Neighbor Discovery (SEND). SEND enables you to secure Neighbor Discovery protocol (NDP) messages. It is applicable in environments where physical security on a link is not assured and attacks on NDP messages are a concern. The Junos OS secures NDP messages through cryptographically generated addresses (CGAs).
Router Discovery
Router advertisements can contain a list of prefixes. These prefixes are used for address autoconfiguration, to maintain a database of onlink (on the same data link) prefixes, and for duplication address detection. If a node is onlink, the router forwards packets to that node. If the node is not onlink, the packets are sent to the next router for consideration. For IPv6, each prefix in the prefix list can contain a prefix length, a valid lifetime for the prefix, a preferred lifetime for the prefix, an onlink flag, and an autoconfiguration flag. This information enables address autoconfiguration and the setting of link parameters such as maximum transmission unit (MTU) size and hop limit.
Junos OS Release 22.4R1 and later supports NAT64 IPv6 address prefix router advertisement. The router advertises the configured NAT64 IPv6 address prefix in the router advertisement packets. You can configure up to 3 NAT64 IPv6 address prefix per interface.
You can configure the NAT64 IPv6 address prefix using the command set
protocols router-advertisement interface
<interface-name> nat-prefix
<prefix>.
You can configure the router advertisement time using the command set
protocols router-advertisement interface
<interface-name> nat-prefix
<prefix> lifetime
<lifetime>.
Address Resolution
For IPv6, ICMPv6 neighbor discovery replaces Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) for resolving network addresses to link-level addresses. Neighbor discovery also handles changes in link-layer addresses, inbound load balancing, anycast addresses, and proxy advertisements.
Nodes requesting the link-layer address of a target node multicast a neighbor solicitation message with the target address. The target sends back a neighbor advertisement message containing its link-layer address.
Neighbor solicitation and advertisement messages are used for detecting duplicate unicast addresses on the same link. Autoconfiguration of an IP address depends on whether there is a duplicate address on that link. Duplicate address detection is a requirement for autoconfiguration.
Neighbor solicitation and advertisement messages are also used for neighbor unreachability detection. Neighbor unreachability detection involves detecting the presence of a target node on a given link.
Redirect
Redirect messages are sent to inform a host of a better next-hop router to a particular destination or an onlink neighbor. This is similar to ICMPv4 redirect. Very similar to the ICMPv4 Redirect feature, the ICMPv6 redirect message is used by routers to inform on-link hosts of a better next-hop for a given destination. The intent is to allow the routers to help hosts make the most efficient local routing decisions possible.
SLAAC
In addition to all the other improvements it brings to the networking world, Neighbor Discovery also enables address autoconfiguration, namely Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC). IPv6 maintains the capability for stateful address assignment through DHCPv6 (and static assignment), but SLAAC provides a lightweight address configuration method that might be desirable in many circumstances.
SLAAC provides plug-and-play IP connectivity in two phases: Phase 1: Link-local address assignment; and then, in Phase 2: Global address assignment.
Phase 1—Steps for local connectivity:
Link-Local Address Generation: Any time that a multicast-capable IPv6-enabled interface is turned up, the node generates a link-local address for that interface. This is done by appending an interface identifier to the link-local prefix (FE80::/10). The auto generated link-local address cannot be deleted. However, a new link-local address can also be manually entered, which overwrites the auto generated link-local address.
Duplicate Detection: Before assigning the new link-local address to its interface, the node verifies that the address is unique. This is accomplished by sending a Neighbor Solicitation message destined to the new address. If there is a reply, then the address is a duplicate and the process stops, requiring operator intervention.
Link-Local Address Assignment: If the address is unique, the node assigns it to the interface for which it was generated.
At this point, the node has IPv6 connectivity to all other nodes on the same link. Phase 2 can only be completed by hosts. The router’s interface addresses must be configured by other means.
Phase 2—Steps for global connectivity:
Router Advertisement: The node sends a Router Solicitation to prompt all on-link routers to send it router advertisements. When the router is enabled to provide stateless autoconfiguration support, the router advertisement contains a subnet prefix for use by neighboring hosts.
Global Address Generation: Once it receives a subnet prefix from a router, the host generates a global address by appending the interface id to the supplied prefix.
Duplicate Address Detection: The host again performsDuplicate Address Detection (DAD), this time for the new global address. 4. Global Address Assignment: Assuming that the address is not a duplicate, the host assigns it to the interface.
This process ensures full IPv6 global connectivity with no manual host configuration and very little router configuration.
Supported ICMP Router Discovery and IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Standards
Junos OS substantially supports the following RFCs, which define standards for the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP for IP version 4 [IPv4]) and neighbor discovery (for IP version 6 [IPv6]).
RFC 1256, ICMP Router Discovery Messages
RFC 4861, Neighbor Discovery for IP version 6 (IPv6)
RFC 2463, Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMPv6) for the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Specification
RFC 4443, Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMPv6) for the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Specification
RFC 4862, IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
RFC 8335, PROBE: A Utility for Probing Interfaces
Example: Configuring IPv6 Interfaces and Enabling Neighbor Discovery
This example shows how to configure the router or switch to send IPv6 neighbor discovery messages.
Requirements
In this example, no special configuration beyond device initialization is required.
Overview
In this example, all of the interfaces in the sample topology are configured with IPv6 addresses. If you plan to extend IPv6 functionality into your LAN, datacenter, or customer networks, you might want to use Stateless Address Auto-Configuration (SLAAC) and that means configuring router advertisements. SLAAC is an IPv6 protocol that provides some similar functionality to DHCP in IPv4. Using SLAAC, network hosts can autoconfigure a globally unique IPv6 address based on the prefix provided by a nearby router in a router advertisement. This removes the need to explicitly configure every interface in a given section of the network. Router advertisement messages are disabled by default, and you must enable them to take advantage of SLAAC.
To configure the router to send router advertisement messages, you must include at least the following statements in the configuration. All other router advertisement configuration statements are optional.
protocols {
router-advertisement {
interface interface-name {
prefix prefix;
}
}
}
To configure neighbor discovery, include the following statements. You configure router advertisement on a per-interface basis.
protocols {
router-advertisement {
interface interface-name {
current-hop-limit number;
default-lifetime seconds;
(link-mtu | no-link-mtu);
(managed-configuration | no-managed-configuration);
max-advertisement-interval seconds;
min-advertisement-interval seconds;
(other-stateful-configuration | no-other-stateful-configuration);
prefix prefix {

(on-link | no-on-link);
preferred-lifetime seconds;
valid-lifetime seconds;
}

virtual-router-only;
}
traceoptions {

}
}

If you are done configuring the device, enter commit from configuration mode.
Verification
To confirm that the configuration is working properly, perform this task:
- Checking the Interfaces
- Pinging the Interfaces
- Checking the IPv6 Neighbor Cache
- Verifying IPv6 Router Advertisements
- Tracing Neighbor Discovery Events
Checking the Interfaces
Purpose
Verify that the interfaces are up, and view the assigned EUI-64 addresses.
Action
From operational mode, enter the show interfaces
terse command.

The output shows that all interfaces are configured
with the IPv6 (inet6) address family. Each IPv6-enabled interface
has two IPv6 addresses; one link-local address, and one global address.
The global addresses match those shown in Figure 1. Junos OS automatically creates a link-local address for
any interface that is enabled for IPv6 operation. All link-local addresses
begin with the fe80::/64 prefix. The host portion of the address is
a full 64 bits long and matches the link-local interface identifier.
When an interface address is configured using the eui-64 statement, its interface identifier matches the interface identifier
of the link-local address. This is because link-local addresses are
coded according to the EUI-64 specification.
Pinging the Interfaces
Purpose
Verify connectivity between the directly connected interfaces.
Action
Determine the remote router’s IPv6 interface address.
On Device R2, run the
show interfaces tersecommand for the interface that is directly connected to Device R1, and copy the global address into the capture buffer of your terminal emulator.user@R2> show interfaces fe-1/2/0.2 terse Interface Admin Link Proto Local Remote fe-1/2/0.2 up up inet6 2001:db8:0:1:2a0:a514:0:24c/64 fe80::2a0:a514:0:24c/64On Device R1, run the
pingcommand, using the global address that you copied.user@R1> ping 2001:db8:0:1:2a0:a514:0:24c PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 2001:db8:0:1:2a0:a514:0:14c --> 2001:db8:0:1:2a0:a514:0:24c 16 bytes from 2001:db8:0:1:2a0:a514:0:24c, icmp_seq=0 hlim=64 time=20.412 ms 16 bytes from 2001:db8:0:1:2a0:a514:0:24c, icmp_seq=1 hlim=64 time=18.897 ms 16 bytes from 2001:db8:0:1:2a0:a514:0:24c, icmp_seq=2 hlim=64 time=1.389 ms
Meaning
Junos OS uses the same ping command for both IPv4 and IPv6 testing. The lack of any interior gateway protocol (IGP) in the network limits the ping testing to directly-connected neighbors. Repeat the ping test for other directly connected neighbors.
Checking the IPv6 Neighbor Cache
Purpose
Display information about the IPv6 neighbors.
After conducting ping testing, you can find an entries for interface addresses in the IPv6 neighbor cache.
Action
From operational mode, enter the show ipv6 neighbors command.
user@R1> show ipv6 neighbors IPv6 Address Linklayer Address State Exp Rtr Secure Interface 2001:db8:0:1:2a0:a514:0:24c 00:05:85:8f:c8:bd stale 546 yes no fe-1/2/0.1 fe80::2a0:a514:0:24c 00:05:85:8f:c8:bd stale 258 yes no fe-1/2/0.1 fe80::2a0:a514:0:64c 00:05:85:8f:c8:bd stale 111 yes no fe-1/2/1.5 fe80::2a0:a514:0:a4c 00:05:85:8f:c8:bd stale 327 yes no fe-1/2/2.9
Meaning
In IPv6, the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) has
been replaced by the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP). The IPv4 command show arp is replaced by the IPv6 command show ipv6 neighbors. The key pieces of information displayed by this command are the
IP address, the MAC (Link Layer) address, and the interface.
Verifying IPv6 Router Advertisements
Purpose
Confirm that devices can be added to the network using SLAAC by ensuring that router advertisements are working properly.
Action
From operational mode, enter the show ipv6 router-advertisement command.
