Hi all, On a test network I just installed a Debian server. On this network RA are being sent for SLAAC, just for testing.
I configured a static IPv6 address in /etc/network/interfaces with the line "iface eth0 inet6 static", all works good. However, because RA are being send I also have a SLAAC address, resulting in two IPv6 addresses. I know that I can disable the SLAAC behaviour somewhere in a config file but that is not the point. Wouldn't it be better if RA messages be ignored once you specified "iface eth0 inet6 static"? This result in a more understandable configuration and I also think a lot of administrator will neglect to turn off RA configurations once the server has a static address, resulting in a possible security/stability issues when RA are start being sent by either a legitimate or rogue node. It would then be nice if you can control the behaviour, just like IPv4, in /etc/network/interfaces with something like "iface eth0 inet6 ra" and "iface eth0 inet6 dhcpv6". What do you think?
