Usage Guidelines

The show ipv6 interface command provides output similar to the show ip interface command, except that it is IPv6-specific.

Use the show ipv6 interface command to validate the IPv6 status of an interface and its configured addresses. The show ipv6 interface command also displays the parameters that IPv6 is using for operation on this interface and any configured features.

If the interface's hardware is usable, the interface is marked up. If the interface can provide two-way communication for IPv6, the line protocol is marked up.

If you specify an optional interface type and number, the command displays information only about that specific interface. For a specific interface, you can enter the prefix keyword to see the IPv6 ND prefixes that are configured on the interface.

Examples

Interface Information for a Specific Interface with IPv6 Configured

To display information about the specified interface, specify an interface type and number. The following is sample output from the show ipv6 interface command when entered with an IPv6 interface type and number:

Table 109 describes the significant fields shown in the display.

Table 109 show ipv6 interface Field Descriptions 

Field
Description

Ethernet 0 is up, down, administratively down (down and administratively down are not shown in sample output)

Indicates whether the interface hardware is active (whether line signal is present) and whether it has been taken down by an administrator. If the interface hardware is usable, the interface is marked "up." For an interface to be usable, both the interface hardware and line protocol must be up.

line protocol is up, down (down is not shown in sample output)

Indicates whether the software processes that handle the line protocol consider the line usable (that is, whether keepalives are successful or IPv6 CP has been negotiated). If the interface can provide two-way communication, the line protocol is marked up. For an interface to be usable, both the interface hardware and line protocol must be up.

IPv6 is enabled, stalled, disabled (stalled and disabled are not shown in sample output)

Indicates that IPv6 is enabled, stalled, or disabled on the interface. If IPv6 is enabled, the interface is marked "enabled." If duplicate address detection processing identified the link-local address of the interface as being a duplicate address, the processing of IPv6 packets is disabled on the interface and the interface is marked "stalled." If IPv6 is not enabled, the interface is marked "disabled."

link-local address

Displays the link-local address assigned to the interface.

Global unicast address(es):

Displays the global unicast addresses assigned to the interface.

Joined group address(es):

MTU

Maximum transmission unit of the interface.

ICMP error messages

Specifies the minimum interval (in milliseconds) between error messages sent on this interface.

ICMP redirects

The state of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) IPv6 redirect messages on the interface (the sending of the messages is enabled or disabled).

ND DAD

The state of duplicate address detection on the interface (enabled or disabled).

number of DAD attempts:

Number of consecutive neighbor solicitation messages that are sent on the interface while duplicate address detection is performed.

ND reachable time

Displays the neighbor discovery reachable time (in milliseconds) assigned to this interface.

ND advertised reachable time

Displays the neighbor discovery reachable time (in milliseconds) advertised on this interface.

ND advertised retransmit interval

Displays the neighbor discovery retransmit interval (in milliseconds) advertised on this interface.

ND router advertisements

Specifies the interval (in seconds) for neighbor discovery router advertisements sent on this interface and the amount of time before the advertisements expire.

As of Cisco IOS Release 12.4(2)T, this field displays the default router preference (DRP) value sent by this router on this interface.

ND advertised default router preference is Medium

The DRP for the router on a specific interface.

    ND router advertisements live for 1800 seconds
    ND advertised default router preference is Low
    Hosts use stateless autoconfig for addresses.

IPv6 Interface with HSRP Configured

When HSRP IPv6 is first configured on an interface, the interface IPv6 link-local address is marked unactive (UNA) because it is no longer advertised, and the HSRP IPv6 virtual link-local address is added to the virtual link-local address list with the UNA and tentative DAD (TEN) flags set. The interface is also programmed to listen for the HSRP IPv6 multicast address.

Router# show ipv6 interface ethernet 0/0

Ethernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up
  IPv6 is enabled, link-local address is FE80:2::2 [UNA]
  Virtual link-local address(es):
    FE80::205:73FF:FEA0:1 [UNA/TEN]
  Global unicast address(es):
    2001:2::2, subnet is 2001:2::/64

    FF02::1:FF00:2
  MTU is 1500 bytes
  ICMP error messages limited to one every 100 milliseconds
  ND DAD is enabled, number of DAD attempts: 1

After the HSRP group becomes active, the UNA and TEN flags are cleared, and the optimistic DAD (OPT) flag is set. The solicited node multicast address for the HSRP virtual IPv6 address is also added to the interface.

Router# show ipv6 interface ethernet 0/0

Ethernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up
  IPv6 is enabled, link-local address is FE80:2::2 [UNA]
  Virtual link-local address(es):

IPv6 Interface with Minimum RA Interval Configured

When using Mobile IPv6, a minimum interval between IPv6 router advertisement (RA) transmissions on an interface between can be configured. show ipv6 interface command output reports the minimum RA interval, when configured. If the minimum RA interval is not explicitly configured, then it is not displayed.

In the following example, the maximum RA interval is configured as 100 seconds, and the minimum RA interval is configured as 60 seconds on Ethernet interface 1/0:

Router(config-if)# ipv6 nd ra-interval 100 60

Subsequent use of the show ipv6 interface then displays the interval as follows:

Router(config)# show ipv6 interface ethernet1/0 

Ethernet1/0 is administratively down, line protocol is down

Usage Guidelines

Use the show ipv6 mfib command to display MFIB entries; and forwarding interfaces, and their traffic statistics. This command can be enabled on virtual IP (VIP) if the router is operating in distributed mode.

Use the show ipv6 mfib active command to display MFIB entries actively used to forward packets. In many cases, it is useful to provide the optional kbps argument to display the set of entries that are forwarding an amount of traffic larger or equal to the amount set by the kbps argument.

Use the show ipv6 mfib count command to display the average packet size and data rate in kilobits per seconds.

A forwarding entry in the MFIB has flags that determine the default forwarding and signaling behavior to use for packets matching the entry. The entry also has per-interface flags that further specify the forwarding behavior for packets received or forwarded on specific interfaces. Table 113 describes the MFIB forwarding entries and interface flags.

Table 113 MFIB Entries and Interface Flags  

Flag
Description

F

Forward—Data is forwarded out of this interface.

A

Accept—Data received on this interface is accepted for forwarding.

IC

Internal copy—Deliver to the router a copy of the packets received or forwarded on this interface.

NS

Negate signal—Reverse the default entry signaling behavior for packets received on this interface.

DP

Do not preserve—When signaling the reception of a packet on this interface, do not preserve a copy of it (discard it instead).

SP

Signal present—The reception of a packet on this interface was just signaled.

S

Signal—By default, signal the reception of packets matching this entry.

C

Perform directly connected check for packets matching this entry. Signal the reception if packets were originated by a directly connected source.


Examples

The following example displays the forwarding entries and interfaces in the MFIB. The router is configured for fast switching, and it has a receiver joined to FF05::1 on Ethernet1/1 and a source (2001::1:1:20) sending on Ethernet1/2:
