Subject: [PATCH proxmox-ve-rs v5 2/9] frr: add IPv6 router advertisement support
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 16:41:41 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029154148.2882594-3-h.laimer@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261029154148.2882594-1-h.laimer@proxmox.com>
The generated FRR config can now carry IPv6 Router Advertisement
settings per interface, along with the prefixes to announce. Each of
these interfaces gets a block of ipv6 nd commands that turns its
advertisements on. Settings left unset are not rendered, so FRR keeps
its defaults for them.
Signed-off-by: Hannes Laimer <h.laimer@proxmox.com>

Notes:
v5:
- the ND block is rendered ahead of the node-local config, so local overrides win
v3:
- keep prefix lifetimes on no-autoconfig prefixes (were dropped)
- emit ra-interval before ra-lifetime
- single prefix line instead of duplicated autoconfig branches
