Subject: [PATCH proxmox-ve-rs v3 2/9] frr: add IPv6 router advertisement support
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2026 14:56:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260623125626.1195681-3-h.laimer@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260623125626.1195681-1-h.laimer@proxmox.com>
Add typed configuration for emitting IPv6 Router Advertisements from
FRR, alongside the existing per-protocol configs. The shape mirrors
the protocol's two layers, keeping interface-level fields separate
from per-prefix flags so neither overloads the other.
Signed-off-by: Hannes Laimer <h.laimer@proxmox.com>

Notes:
v3:
- keep prefix lifetimes on no-autoconfig prefixes (were dropped)
- emit ra-interval before ra-lifetime
- single prefix line instead of duplicated autoconfig branches
