Expected Results: Don't accept RAs on the interface. sysctl net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_ra net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_ra = 0 the disabling of accepting Router Advertisements is needed when running e.g. Router Advertisement Daemon (radvd). Then the intervace emitting the RAs must not autoconfigure its address from the sent RAs (which are emitted through that interface) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
