The Set-NetIPv6Protocol cmdlet modifies the global IPv6 protocol configuration for a computer.
If you do not specify any parameters for the cmdlet, the cmdlet sets the default values for the IPv6 protocol configuration.
This command increases the size of the cache of on-link neighbors on the subnet that are no longer referenced to 1,000.
The default value is 256.
