It wouldn't be so bad if we could just turn it off. Indeed, in part you can. On a static LAN there is no need for RA's. Static IP the box, static default route, done and done.
VRRPv6 however is relevant to static environments and also needs to (optionally) work with RA turned off.
Ah yes, another tagent, but absolutely. VRRPv6 is needed not only because you may want to go 100% static, but also because VRRP can do things like tracking upstream interfaces that RA cannot do. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
