Monitoring the Policy Configuration of IPv6 Interfaces

Purpose

Display detailed or summary information, including policy and classifier information, for a particular IPv6 interface or for all interfaces. The default for the show ipv6 interface command is all interface types and all interfaces. The brief or detail keywords with the show ipv6 interface command displays different levels of information.

Action

To display information about IPv6 policy lists:

Meaning

Table 39 lists the show ipv6 interface command output fields.

Table 39: show ipv6 interface Output Fields

Field Name	Field Description
Description	Optional description for the interface or address specified
Network Protocols	Network protocols configured on this interface
Link local address	Local IPv6 address of this interface
Internet address	External address of this interface
Operational MTU	Value of the MTU
Administrative MTU	Value of the MTU if it has been administratively overridden using the configuration
Operational speed	Speed of the interface
Administrative speed	Value of the speed if it has been administratively overridden using the configuration
Creation type	Method by which the interface was created (static or dynamic)
ND reachable time	Amount of time (in milliseconds) that the neighbor is expected to remain reachable
ND duplicate address detection attempts	Number of times that the router attempts to determine a duplicate address
ND neighbor solicitation retransmission interval	Amount of time (in milliseconds) during which the router retransmits neighbor solicitations
ND proxy	Whether the router replies to solicitations on behalf of a known neighbor, enabled or disabled
ND RA source link layer	Whether the RA includes the link layer
ND RA interval	Amount of time (in seconds) of the neighbor discovery router advertisement
ND RA lifetime	Amount of time (in seconds) of the neighbor discovery router advertisement
ND RA managed flag	State of the neighbor discovery router advertisement managed flag, enabled or disabled
ND RA other config flag	State of the neighbor discovery router advertisement other config flag, enabled or disabled
ND RA advertising prefixes	Whether advertisement prefixes for neighbor discovery router advertisement are configured
In Received Packets, Bytes	Total number of packets and bytes received on this interface
Unicast Packets, Bytes	Number of unicast packets and bytes received on the IPv6 interface; link-local received multicast packets (non-multicast-routed frames) are counted as unicast packets
Multicast Packets, Bytes	Number of multicast packets and bytes received on the IPv6 interface, which are then multicast-routed and counted as multicast packets
In Total Dropped Packets, Bytes	Total number of inbound packets and bytes dropped on this interface
In Policed Packets	Number of packets that were received and dropped because of rate limits
In Invalid Source Address Packets	Number of packets received with invalid source address (for example, spoofed packets)
In Error Packets	Number of packets received with errors
In Discarded Packets	Number of packets received that were discarded for reasons other than rate limits, errors, and invalid source address
Out Forwarded Packets, Bytes	Total number of packets and bytes that were sent from this interface
Unicast Packets, Bytes	Number of unicast packets and bytes that were sent from this interface
Multicast Routed Packets, Bytes	Number of multicast packets and bytes that were sent from this interface
Out Total Dropped Packets	Total number of outbound packets and bytes dropped by this interface
Out Scheduler Dropped Packets, Bytes	Number of outbound packets and bytes dropped by the scheduler
Out Policed Packets, Bytes	Number of outbound packets and bytes dropped because of rate limits
Out Discarded Packets	Number of outbound packets that were discarded for reasons other than those dropped by the scheduler and those dropped because of rate limits
IPv6 policy	Type (input, output, local-input) and name of the policy
rate-limit-profile	Name of the profile
classifier-group entry	Entry index
Committed	Number of packets and bytes that conform to the committed access rate
Conformed	Number of packets and bytes that exceed the committed access rate but conform to the peak access rate
Exceeded	Number of packets and bytes that exceed the peak access rate
queue, traffic class, bound to ipv6	Queue and traffic class bound to the specified IPv6 interface
Queue length	Number of bytes in the queue
Dropped committed packets, bytes	Total number of committed packets and bytes dropped by this interface
Dropped conformed packets, bytes	Total number of conformed packets and bytes dropped by this interface
Dropped exceeded packets, bytes	Total number of exceeded packets and bytes dropped by this interface
