Displaying local IPv6 routers

The Brocade device can function as an IPv6 host, instead of an IPv6 router, if you configure IPv6
addresses on its interfaces but do not enable IPv6 routing using the ipv6 unicast-routing command.

From the IPv6 host, you can display information about IPv6 routers to which the host is connected. The
host learns about the routers through their router advertisement messages. To display information
about the IPv6 routers connected to an IPv6 host, enter the following command at any CLI level.

device#show ipv6 router

Router fe80::2e0:80ff:fe46:3431 on Ethernet 50, last update 0 min

Hops 64, Lifetime 1800 sec

Reachable time 0 msec, Retransmit time 0 msec

Syntax: show ipv6 router

If you configure your Brocade device to function as an IPv6 router (you configure IPv6 addresses on its
interfaces and enable IPv6 routing using the ipv6 unicast-routing command) and you enter the show
ipv6 router command
, you will receive the following output.

No IPv6 router in table

Meaningful output for this command is generated for Brocade devices configured to function as IPv6
hosts only.

This display shows the following information.

IPv6 local router information fields

TABLE 39

Field

Description

Router ipv6 address
on interface port

The IPv6 address for a particular router interface.

Last update

The amount of elapsed time (in minutes) between the current and previous updates
received from a router.

Hops

The default value that should be included in the Hop Count field of the IPv6 header for
outgoing IPv6 packets. The hops value applies to the router for which you are displaying
information and should be followed by IPv6 hosts attached to the router. A value of 0
indicates that the router leaves this field unspecified.
