Hi All,
When I enabled Router Advertisement on the interface on which I want
to receive RA, the received prefix was added to the routing table. The
default route was added with the tag "ra" but not the prefix.
$ip -6 route
::1 dev lo proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
*fdxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::/64* dev ens192 proto kernel metric 256 expires
2591996sec pref medium
fe80::/64 dev ens192 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
default via fe80::xxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx dev ens192 proto *ra* metric 1024
expires 1796sec hoplimit 64 pref medium
When I flush the ra learned routes using the following command, only the
default route gets removed. Why doesn't the prefix which is *bolded* above
get deleted too? It is marked as added by the *kernel*, but the kernel
added it because it came from an RA.
*sudo ip -6 route flush protocol ra*.
::1 dev lo proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
*fdxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::/64* dev ens192 proto kernel metric 256 expires
2591996sec pref medium
fe80::/64 dev ens192 proto kernel metric 256 pref medium
