Subject: [PATCH network v5 04/10] sdn: simple: enable force_forwarding for ipv6 forwarding to subnets
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 15:55:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104145513.21471-5-l.sichert@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104145513.21471-1-l.sichert@proxmox.com>
Simple zones can route ipv6 subnet traffic through a VNet bridge. Until
now, this depended on global ipv6 forwarding state, which also changes
Router Advertisement handling for the whole host.
Enable 'force_forwarding' explicitly on the Subnet bridge using the
'ip6-force-forward' ifupdown2 flag.
