ICMP Router Discovery Configuration Guidelines

To configure router discovery, you include statements at the [edit protocols router-discovery] hierarchy level of the configuration. When you configure a router as a server for router discovery, you can include the following statements in the configuration:

protocols {

    router-discovery { 

        disable;

        traceoptions {

            file name <replace> <size size> <files number > <no-stamp> 

                <(world-readable | no-world-readable)>;

            flag flag <detail> <disable>;

        }

        interface interface-name {

            min-advertisement-interval seconds ; 

            max-advertisement-interval seconds ; 

            lifetime seconds ; 

        }

        address address {

            (advertise | ignore); 

            (broadcast | multicast); 

            (priority number | ineligible);

        }

    }

} 

By default, router discovery is disabled.

This chapter describes the following tasks for configuring ICMP router discovery:

• Minimum Router Discovery Server Configuration
• Configure the Addresses to Include in Router Advertisements
• Configure the Frequency of Router Advertisements
• Modify the Router Advertisement Lifetime
• Trace ICMP Protocol Traffic
