IPV6 SPECIFIC KEYWORDS

Any keyword may be used inside an interface declaration block, but the system will only respond to certain keywords by default:

ipv6-autoconf number
    Autoconfigure addresses using Prefix Information in Router Advertisements. Default: 1

ipv6-accept-ra number

Possible values are: 0 - Do not accept Router Advertisements, 1 - Accept Router Advertisements if forwarding is disabled, 2 - Overrule forwarding behaviour. Accept Router Advertisements even if forwarding is enabled. Default: 1

    The amount of Duplicate Address Detection probes to send. Default: 1
