Monitoring IPv6

This section explains how to set an IPv6 statistics baseline and use the show commands to view your IPv6 configuration, monitor IPv6 interfaces and statistics, and view IPv6 neighbors. Many of these show commands also contain Neighbor Discovery information.

System Event Logs

To troubleshoot and monitor IPv6, use the following system event logs:

For more information about using event logs, see the JUNOSe System Event Logging Reference Guide.

Establishing a Baseline

IPv6 statistics are stored in system counters. The only way to reset the system counters is to reboot the system. You can, however, establish a baseline for IPv6 statistics by setting a group of reference counters to zero (0).

IPv6 show Commands

You can monitor the following aspects of IPv6 using show ipv6 commands:


To Display
Command

General IPv6 information

show ipv6

IPv6 addresses

show ipv6 address

IPv6 forwarding table

show ipv6 forwarding table slot

IPv6 Interfaces

show ipv6 interface

IPv6 neighbors

show ipv6 neighbors

IPv6 profile information

show ipv6 profile

Active IPv6 protocol information

show ipv6 protocols

IPv6 route redistribution configuration

show ipv6 redistribute

IPv6 routes

show ipv6 route

IPv6 router advertisements received

show ipv6 routers

IPv6 static routes

show ipv6 static

IPv6 statistics/traffic

show ipv6 traffic

IPv6 UDP information

show ipv6 udp statistics

IPv6 license string

show license ipv6

IPv6 TCP information

show tcp statistics

show ipv6 tcp statistics

You can use the output filtering feature of the show command to include or exclude lines of output based on a text string that you specify. See JUNOSe System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 2, Command-Line Interface, for details.

The keepalive timer popped. An 8-bit argument that describes how the timer was handled:

  • Ignored because the session was not established (that is, not in the OPEN state)
  • Ignored due to idle-timeout considerations
  • A packet was sent
  • Ignored because the connection did not have the keepalive option set OR the connection was in the process of closing
