You can view the neighbor cache that includes the interface identifier for the neighbor cache entry, the neighboring node IPv6 address, and the corresponding link-layer address.
To viewing neighbor cache
At the command prompt, type ipv6 nc [IfIndex [Address]], where IfIndex indicates the interface index number.
If an interface number is specified, only the contents of that interface's neighbor cache are displayed. Otherwise, the contents of all of the interface's neighbor caches are displayed. If an interface is specified, you can specify an IPv6 address, displaying only the single neighbor cache entry.
Press ENTER.
