Viewing an IPv6 interface ID to a VLAN with Device Manager

Use the following procedure to view an IPv6 interface ID to a VLAN to learn the ID.

Prerequisite

You must configure a VLAN before you can give the VLAN an interface identifier, or an IPv6 address. The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5000 Series switches support port-based and protocol-based VLANs. For more information about configuring VLANs, see Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5000 Configuration — VLANs, Spanning Tree and Multi-Link Trunking (), NN47200-501.

From Device Manager menu bar, click the IPv6 tab.

The Ipv6 dialog box appears with the Globals tab displayed.

2

Click the Interfaces tab.

The Interface tab appears.

3

Variable definitions

Variable Definition
IfIndex Identifies a physical interface or a logical interface (VLAN). For a VLAN, it is the Ifindex of the VLAN.
Identifier Specifies the IPv6 address interface identifier, which is a binary string of up to 8 octets in network byte order.
IdentifierLength Specifies the length of the interface identifier in bits.
Descr Specifies a text string containing information about the interface. The network management system also sets this string.
Vlanid Identifies the Virtual LAN associated with the entry. This value corresponds to the lower 12 bits in the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag.
Type Specifies Unicast, the only supported type.
ReasmMaxSize(MTU) Specifies the MTU for this IPv6 interface. This value must be same for all the IP addresses defined on this interface. The default value is 1280.
PhysAddress Specifies the media-dependent physical address. The range is 0 through 65535. For Ethernet, this is a MAC address.
AdminStatus Specifies whether the administration status of the interface is enabled (true) or disabled (false). The default is enabled (true).
OperStatus Specifies whether the operation status of the interface is up or down.
ReachableTime Specifies the time (in milliseconds) that a neighbor is considered reachable after receiving a reachability confirmation.
RetransmitTime Specifies the RetransmitTime, which is the time (in milliseconds) between retransmissions of neighbor solicitation messages to a neighbor when resolving the address or when probing the reachability of a neighbor.
MulticastAdminStatus Specifies the multicast status as either True or False.
