This is something done on switches, it's not dissimilar to DHCP snooping. The document refers to SEND (RFC3971) as another way to protect router advertisements, possibly in conjuction with RA guard. SEND may be subject to a patent, see https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/490/ (also this doesn't appear to be very widely supported as yet). > Or in this case what kind,of funkions have openbsd to > protect ipv6 router advertisement? Static address configuration protects you from rogue v6 router advertisements, the same way it protects you from rogue DHCP servers.
