Cisco switches that support IPv6 L2 security

Level 1

I'm looking for Cisco switches that support IPv6 layer 2 security. The following features are required:

  • MLDv2 snooping [RFC4541]
  • DHCPv6 snooping [RFC3315]
    DHCPv6 messages must be blocked between subscribers and the network so that false DHCPv6 servers cannot distribute addresses.
  • Router Advertisement (RA) filtering [RFC4862, RFC5006]
    RA filtering must be used in the network to block unauthorised RA messages.
  • Dynamic "IPv6 neighbour solicitation/advertisement" inspection [RFC4862]
    There must be an IPv6 neighbour solicitation/advertisement inspection, as in IPv4 "Dynamic ARP Inspection". The table with MAC-address and link-local and other assigned IPv6-addresses must be dynamically created by SLAAC or DHCPv6 messages.
  • Neighbour Unreachability Detection [NUD, RFC4861] filtering
    There must be a NUD filtering function to ensure that false NUD messages cannot be sent.
  • Duplicate Address Detection [DAD, RFC4429] snooping and filtering
    Only authorised addresses may be allowed as source IPv6 addresses in DAD messages from each port.

I've looked around in some configuration guides for some Cisco access switches but I can't seem to find any switch supporting these functionalities.
