What Is in This Version

• Router Advertisement Daemon: Router functionality, as specified in RFC 2461,
“Neighbor Discovery for IP Version 6 (IPv6)”, is implemented with a new daemon,
rtradvd, and an accompanying configuration file, /etc/rtradvd.conf.
The rtradvd daemon listens to router solicitation and sends router advertisement
messages on demand or periodically (as described in RFC 2461). These advertisements
allow any listening host to configure their addresses and other parameters automatically.
They can also choose a default router based on these advertisements. Router
advertisement is configured on a per interface basis, as described in rtradvd.conf(4).
NOTE Router Advertisement Daemon (rtradvd) can be dynamically reconfigured,
without bringing down the daemon.
IP Options ipv6 local-ifid,
remote-ifid
Specify two 64-bit IPv6 interface identifiers
separated by a comma, the interface
identifier of this machine, and the expected
interface identifier of the remote machine,
after IPv6. Both the interface identifiers are
optional. However, the remote interface
identifier is required if auto option is
specified.
need-ip6-ifid Specify this option to obtain a 64-bit IPv6
interface identifier assigned by the peer for
local use.
rfc2472-ifid-neg Specify this option to not send NAK to an
option for which you have already sent an
NAK while processing earlier IPV6CP
configure options.
