DHCPv6 Router Option

[Carl Holzhauer]

This is one of the things I don't like about the way they've done the IPv6 RA/DHCP stuff, but Rudy's right.

RA from linux or from a Cisco ASA is pretty simple to set up...let it take care of assigning addresses and just have DHCP add the extra options

Hi Bradlee,

For IPv6 this is solved outside of DHCP. You need to be running a router advertisement from the router.

Cheers,
