MTU link-mtu Link MTU value placed in RAs, exluded in RAs if unset
Router Lifetime default-lifetime Lifetime associated with the default router in units of seconds
Reachable Time reachable-time Time, in milliseconds, that a node assumes a neighbor is reachable after having received a reachability confirmation
Retransmit Timer retrans-timer Time in milliseconds between retransmitted Neighbor Solicitation messages
Default Router Preference default-preference Preference associated with the default router
Interval interval Min and max intervals between unsolicited multicast RAs
DNSSL dnssl DNS search list to advertise

   name-server 2001:db8::2
