• ndisc6 doesn't recognize IPv6 router anycast neighbor advertisement

    From Marco Moock@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jan 10 09:34:55 2023
    Hello,

    can anybody here test at home/work if ndisc6 recognizes the ICMPv6
    neighbor advertisement for a subnet router anycast address?
    That is the first address in a subnet, e.g. for 2001:db8:1234:456::/64
    it is 2001:db8:1234:456::.

    ndisc6 2001:db8:1234:456:: eth0
    ndisc6 fe80:: enp6s1

    fe80:: should work with any router that has IPv6 enabled.

    At my side (Cisco router), ndisc6 shows a timeout, but can recognize
    normal neighbor advertisements to unicast addresses.
    My router sends the neighbor advertisement for the router subnet
    anycast address, I verified that with Wireshark.

    kind regards
