METHOD, NETWORK DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURING NETWORK DEVICE IN INTERNET PROTOCOL VERSION 6 NETWORK

摘要

The embodiments of the present invention provide a method for automatically configuring a network device in an IPv6 network. The embodiments of the present invention also provide the corresponding network device and system. The technical solution according to embodiments of the present invention, a network device is configured to obtain an IP address of the network device by sending a router solicitation message to an advertisement router; obtain an IP address of a network management system by sending a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DHCP request message to a DHCP server; generate a static route according to the IP address of the network device, the IP address of the network management system, and an IP address of the advertisement router; and register to the network management system according to the generated static route. Using the preceding method, the network device implements an automatic discovery of a newly added IP device in an IPv6 network in the network management system, which reduces the workload for an operator of configuring a network management device and the network device on site, and improves network deployment efficiency.
