Usage Guidelines

You can remove all entries from the IPv6 cache or specify an entry based on the IPv6 prefix, IPv6 address, or interface type.

You must specify the ipv6-prefix parameter in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373. You must specify the prefix-length parameter as a decimal value. A slash mark (/) must follow the ipv6-prefix parameter and precede the prefix-length parameter.

You must specify the ipv6-address parameter in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.
