Use the following procedure to view an IPv6 interface ID to a VLAN to learn the ID.
Prerequisite
You must configure a VLAN before you can give the VLAN an interface identifier, or an IPv6 address. The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5000 Series switches support port-based and protocol-based VLANs. For more information about configuring VLANs, see Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5000 Configuration — VLANs, Spanning Tree and Multi-Link Trunking (), NN47200-501.

Use the data in this table to help you understand the Interfaces tab.
Variable definitions
| Variable | Definition |
|---|---|
| IfIndex | Identifies a physical interface or a logical interface (VLAN). For a VLAN, it is the Ifindex of the VLAN. |
| Identifier | Specifies the IPv6 address interface identifier, which is a binary string of up to 8 octets in network byte order. |
| IdentifierLength | Specifies the length of the interface identifier in bits. |
| Descr | Specifies a text string containing information about the interface. The network management system also sets this string. |
| Vlanid | Identifies the Virtual LAN associated with the entry. This value corresponds to the lower 12 bits in the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag. |
| Type | Specifies Unicast, the only supported type. |
| ReasmMaxSize(MTU) | Specifies the MTU for this IPv6 interface. This value must be same for all the IP addresses defined on this interface. The default value is 1280. |
| PhysAddress | Specifies the media-dependent physical address. The range is 0 through 65535. For Ethernet, this is a MAC address. |
| AdminStatus | Specifies whether the administration status of the interface is enabled (true) or disabled (false). The default is enabled (true). |
| OperStatus | Specifies whether the operation status of the interface is up or down. |
| ReachableTime | Specifies the time (in milliseconds) that a neighbor is considered reachable after receiving a reachability confirmation. |
| RetransmitTime | Specifies the RetransmitTime, which is the time (in milliseconds) between retransmissions of neighbor solicitation messages to a neighbor when resolving the address or when probing the reachability of a neighbor. |
| MulticastAdminStatus | Specifies the multicast status as either True or False. |
