(usagi-users 04000) Re: how to supress RA on linux

["Anjali Gajendragadkar" <anjali1004@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Parminder

sorry for the confusion.

No I do not want to stop IPv6.

 

With RA, machine will learn about the gateway adress from the SA of RA.

 

If i give static default GW for IPv6 in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcgf-eth0

 

I will have tow gateway

1. Through RA

2. Static default GW

 

when i checked with Route command i got both the address.

I was just wondering if it is possible to remove the gateway option received from RA.

 

Thanks

Hi Anjali!

I am sorry to ask this but I am bit confused with what
are you trying to achive with this...Pls correct my
point.

You have stopped accept_ra and auto_conf. But as per
the IPv6 having a link local address on interface is
must, I am not sure that its mentioned in some RFC or
not but thats what I think.

Now you are trying to stop the gateway configuration.
I am confused with this. without all these how you are
going to support IPv6 on your machine ?

as for the answer of your question..I think when (but
not fully sure) you have already set accept_ra flag to
'0' then gateway should not be configured.

Thanks and Regards
Pramendra
