Configure Router Discovery

The Router Discovery protocol is used by hosts to identify operational routers on the subnet. 
Router Discovery messages are of two types: Router Advertisements and Router 
Solicitations. The protocol mandates that every router periodically advertise the IP Addresses 
it is associated with. Hosts listen for these advertisements and discover the IP Addresses of 
neighboring routers.

Router Discovery Configuration

Use the Router Discovery Configuration screen to enter or change Router Discovery 
parameters.
