NAME

  Test v6LC.2.2.7 - Sending Unsolicited Router Advertisements (Routers Only)
  Part D: Sending Unsolicited RA (Max Values)


Purpose

  Verify that a router sends the first few advertisements (up to
  MAX_INITIAL_RTR_ADVERTISEMENTS) from an interface when it becomes an advertising interface
  at an maximum interval value of MAX_INITIAL_RTR_ADVERT_INTERVAL (16) seconds. Verify that
  a router transmits valid router advertisements.

Procedure

  Part D: Sending Unsolicited RA (Max Values)
     7. Configure Interface A on the RUT to be an advertising interface with the following values:
                   AdvSendAdvertisements         True
                   MaxRtrAdvInterval             1800
                   MinRtrAdvInterval             1350
                   AdvCurHopLimit                0xff
                   AdvManagedFlag&AdvOtherConfigFlag True
                   AdvDefaultLifetime            9000
                   AdvReachableTime              3,600,000
                   AdvRetransTimer               0xffffffff
                   AdvOnlinkFlag&AdvAutonomousFlag True
                   AdvValidLifetime              0xffffffff
                   AdvPerferredLifetime          0xffffffff
                   AdvLinkMTU                    1500
   8. Observe the packets transmitted by the RUT on Interface A.


Observable Results

  Part D
    Step 8: The RUT should transmit the Router Advertisements with the same values as
    configured.


Possible Problems

  * None.
