NDP Configuration Example
721
Configuring the interval 
at which NDP packets 
are sent
The NDP information of the adjacent device must be updated periodically to 
ensure that the switch can update the local NDP neighbor information table in 
time after the configuration of the adjacent device is changed. You can configure 
the interval at which NDP packets are sent by using the following command.
Displaying and 
debugging NDP
After the above-mentioned configuration:
Use the display command in any view to display the operating state of the 
NDP and verify configuration result.
You can use the reset command to clear the statistics related to NDP in user 
view.
NDP Configuration 
Example
Network requirements
Switch A, Switch B, and Switch C are interconnected.
Ethernet1/1/1 on Switch A is connected to Ethernet 1/1/1 on Switch B and 
Ethernet 1/1/2 on Switch A is connected to Ethernet 1/1/1 on Switch C.
Configure the aging timer for 
NDP information 
ndp timer aging 
aging-in-secs 
By default, the aging timer for 
NDP information is 180 
seconds.
The aging timer for NDP 
information must be greater 
than or equal to the interval at 
which NDP packets are sent; 
otherwise, the NDP 
information table will be 
unstable.
