Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7~alpha4
Severity: minor
Tags: experimental
When it hits an inet6 static stanza, ifup sets two sysctl variables
net.ipv6.conf.$DEV.accept_ra=0
net.ipv6.conf.$DEV.autoconf=0
The latter disables SLAAC using an EUI-64 MAC-based address on the interface,
which is probably the thing you want to have if you configure static addresses
(although I'd love to see an option to disable that, I sometimes want static
addresses in addition to dynamic ones).
The first one however disables all RA processing. This also drops learning
the default route from a router. It is a perfectly legal (and even
recommended) setup to set addresses statically, but learn the default route
from the router advertisement.
Please do not set this variable or at least make the behaviour configurable.
