A current Linux should accept the anycast address without any issues. Did you have a look at the ICMP packets that get exchanged during Neighbour Solicitation? All Brocade devices I have under my administration do not handle IPv6 Neighbour Discorvery correctly (sad...), so maybe the RX8 is also buggy. > Has anybody made any progress with using anycast as a gateway for a > Linux machine? Kernel tweaks / settings which make it work? If you have a gateway that handles ND correctly Linux accepts that just fine, so I don't think that you need any Kernel tweaks.
