I would not be surprised if the IPv6 stack on Linux would gain IPv6 addresses using SLAAC from any interface if it sees RAs on it, regardless if these are locally generated or not. I guess any Linux device running radvd should turn off autoconf on those interface that radvd is acting on? net.ipv6.conf.veth0.accept_ra=0 should do the trick? -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@....pp.se -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
