Field Description
IPv6 Address IPv6 address of neighbor.
Age The time since the address was verified as reachable (in seconds). A static
entry is indicated by the value “Permanent.”
Link-layer
Address
Physical layer MAC address.
State The following states are used for dynamic entries:
◆ Incomplete - Address resolution is being carried out on the entry.
A neighbor solicitation message has been sent to the multicast
address of the target, but it has not yet returned a neighbor
advertisement message.
◆ Invalid - An invalidated mapping. Setting the state to invalid dis-
associates the interface identified with this entry from the indicated
mapping (RFC 4293).
◆ Reachable - Positive confirmation was received within the last
ReachableTime interval that the forward path to the neighbor was
functioning. While in Reachable state, the device takes no special
action when sending packets.
◆ Stale - More than the ReachableTime interval has elapsed since the
last positive confirmation was received that the forward path was
functioning. While in Stale state, the device takes no action until a
packet is sent.
◆ Delay - More than the ReachableTime interval has elapsed since the
last positive confirmation was received that the forward path was
functioning. A packet was sent within the last
DELAY_FIRST_PROBE_TIME interval. If no reachability confirmation is
received within this interval after entering the Delay state, the switch
will send a neighbor solicitation message and change the state to
Probe.
◆ Probe - A reachability confirmation is actively sought by re-sending
neighbor solicitation messages every RetransTimer interval until
confirmation of reachability is received.
◆ Unknown - Unknown state.
The following states are used for static entries:
◆ Incomplete - The interface for this entry is down.
◆ Permanent - Indicates a static entry.
◆ Reachable - The interface for this entry is up. Reachability detection is
not applied to static entries in the IPv6 neighbor discovery cache.
VLAN VLAN interface from which the address was reached.
