Disabled RAs from default router not working across all interfaces
Issue
We're trying to disable IPv6 router advertisements from the default router across all interfaces. In sysctl.conf, there is a line that says:
net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra_defrtr = 0
I was under the impression that "all" meant all interfaces, but it's not actually disabling RA's. For example, if I do a
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/accept_ra_defrtr
0 is returned, which is fine. However, if I do a
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/bond0/accept_ra_defrtr
1 is returned.
