IPv6 Neighbor Discovery
Neighbor discovery works over the ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery protocol, which is the functional equivalent of the IPv4 ARP protocol.
ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol must be explicitly permitted in the Access Control Rule Base
All rules configured in a given Security Policy. Synonym: Rulebase. for all bridged networks.
This is different from ARP. ARP traffic is Layer 2 only, therefore it permitted regardless of the Rule Set of traffic parameters and other conditions in a Rule Base (Security Policy) that cause specified actions to be taken for a communication session. Base.
This is an example of an explicit Rule Base that permits ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery protocol:
