Problem to disable IPV6 Router Advertisements suppress command

Pablojuncalc

Level 1

Hello:

I Have a Cisco 877 with IOS:

Cisco IOS Software, C870 Software (C870-ADVIPSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.4(24)T6, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)

I am implementing Hurricane Electric Tunnel Broker, but actually to do this test I have disconnected the Wan Interface , and It only has a Windows 7 host connected to port FastEthernet 0, through vlan1:

FONTENLAS#show ip interface brief

Interface                  IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol

ATM0                       unassigned      YES NVRAM  administratively down down   

ATM0.1                     unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down   

Dialer0                    unassigned      YES NVRAM  up                    up     

FastEthernet0              unassigned      YES unset  up                    up     

FastEthernet1              unassigned      YES unset  up                    down   

FastEthernet2              unassigned      YES unset  up                    down   

FastEthernet3              unassigned      YES unset  up                    down   

NVI0                       unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down   

Tunnel0                    unassigned      YES NVRAM  up                    down   

Vlan1                      172.16.1.1      YES NVRAM  up                    up     

FONTENLAS#ping

FONTENLAS#ping 172.16.1.2

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.16.1.2, timeout is 2 seconds:

.!!!!

Success rate is 80 percent (4/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/4 ms

FONTENLAS#

I have configured an IPV6 address on Interface Vlan1, but I don't want that the prefix to be distributed through Autoconfiguration, so I have configured on interface Vlan1 the command: nd ra suppress as I show you

FONTENLAS#show run interface vlan 1

Building configuration...

Current configuration : 187 bytes

!

interface Vlan1

ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0

ip nat inside

ip virtual-reassembly

ip tcp adjust-mss 1412

ipv6 address 2001:470:1F15:EE2::/64 eui-64

ipv6 nd ra suppress

end

FONTENLAS#

As result, the router doesn't send its periodical Router Advertisements , but when the host is restarted, it sends a Router Solicitation message and the Router answers with Router Advertisement (that is making me crazy, because I understand it musn't send RA messages with suppres command configured)

That's what happens when I restart the connected Host:

FE80::219:AAFF:FEC2:30BC -> Router Link Local Address

FE80::7004:6BEB:4C26:79ED -> Host Link Local Address

So the result is that the Host obtains again the prefix through Autoconfiguration from RA router message.

I haved looked for new cli commands on the router to prevent this but I haven't found any other. The more I had got is to configure the commands (specially the first one):

ipv6 nd prefix default no-advertise

ipv6 nd managed-config-flag

so now, the router doesn't send the Prefix on  RA messages, but it continues answering to RS Host Messages with its RA message. And I don't want that, because although It doesn't send the prefix with "nd prefix default no-advertise" command, it sends the MTU and the Default Gateway to the router

and I don't want that because later I want to deploy a Windows Server in the same LAN to do that function (Dhcp server, DNS server...)

That's what happens (Router sends again RA)

So I would like to know If I making some mistake or some missconfiguration with this?

Maybe I haven't  the correct knowless about how Slacc Autoconfiguration should work (Isn't right that with suppress comand configured the router shouldn't send any RA message ?), or maybe it's a problem with this IOS version. I'm gettin crazy with this.

This router has 24 Mb Flash, so If it's a problem with IOS version, I don't know which one to put on it because I think 15.X versions exceed 24Mb

Thanks for reading this large post and for helping

Kind regards

Pablo JC

Hi Pablo,

RA messages can be disabled completely using the following command: ipv6 nd ra suppress all.

The "all" keyword suppresses periodic and solicited RA messages.

It has been introduced in 15.1(3)T3.

Hi Pablo,

Although I have never tested it myself, I think sing a lifetime = 0 should work. My personal preference would be to use an ACL to filter out the RS as suggested in the workaround in the bugid you mentioned.

Hi Harold:

  Thanks so much for your answer.

  Unfortunately, this Router has 128/24 Dram, but IOS 15.1(3)T3 requires 193/32.

Related to your answer I have found this link

Where it is explained:

CSCth90147

Symptoms: Router will respond to an RS with an RA.

Conditions:  The symptom is observed when you configure the ipv6 nd ra suppress  command. This command is only intended to suppress periodic mcast RAs.  The router will still respond to unicast RS (that is intended behavior).

Workaround: Use an ACL to block the reception of RS packets.

I have read in another web that other possible solution is to use configuren the nd ra lifetime messages as 0.

I have combined several commands in this way:

!

interface Vlan1

ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0

ip nat inside

ip virtual-reassembly

ip tcp adjust-mss 1412

ipv6 address 2001:470:1F15:EE2::/64 eui-64

ipv6 nd prefix default no-advertise

ipv6 nd managed-config-flag

ipv6 nd ra suppress

ipv6 nd ra lifetime 0

end

With:

ipv6 nd ra suppress -> The router won't send periodical RA messages

ipv6 nd prefix default no-advertise -> The router won't publish the prefix in message RA that it send answering host RS

ipv6 nd ra lifetime 0 -> Does this prevent that the rest of the configuration send by RA could stay in hosts

ipv6 nd managed-config-flag

What do you thing about this configuration? I know  it's a bit dirtier than using an ACL to block the reception of RS  packet, but could it done the same function?

Kind regards

Hello.

If I choose to do ACL, what would the configuration look like for blocking only the RAs?
