Can `send_redirects` for IPv6 stack configuration per network interface be disabled?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Can send_redirects for IPv6 stack configuration per network interface be disabled? This was possible for IPv4 and even if forwarding is enabled, send_redirects flag can be disabled at interface level using sysctl at following path.
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default/send_redirects
  • For IPv6 there is no send_redirects option although accept_redirects is there. Is this removed on purpose?

Environment
