4: Quagga fully supports IPv6 routing. As described so far, Quagga supports
1.1.1.2 ! misho 5: RIPng, OSPFv3, Babel and BGP-4+. You can give IPv6 addresses to an interface
1.1 misho 6: and configure static IPv6 routing information. Quagga IPv6 also provides
7: automatic address configuration via a feature called @code{address
8: auto configuration}. To do it, the router must send router advertisement
9: messages to the all nodes that exist on the network.

27: Configuring the IPv6 prefix to include in router advertisements. Several prefix
28: specific optional parameters and flags may follow:
29: @itemize @bullet
30: @item
31: @var{valid-lifetime} - the length of time in seconds during what the prefix is
32: valid for the purpose of on-link determination. Value @var{infinite} represents
33: infinity (i.e. a value of all one bits (@code{0xffffffff})).
34:
35: Range: @code{<0-4294967295>} Default: @code{2592000}
36:
37: @item
38: @var{preferred-lifetime} - the length of time in seconds during what addresses
39: generated from the prefix remain preferred. Value @var{infinite} represents
40: infinity.
41:
42: Range: @code{<0-4294967295>} Default: @code{604800}
43:
44: @item
45: @var{off-link} - indicates that advertisement makes no statement about on-link or
46: off-link properties of the prefix.
47:
48: Default: not set, i.e. this prefix can be used for on-link determination.
49:
50: @item
51: @var{no-autoconfig} - indicates to hosts on the local link that the specified prefix
52: cannot be used for IPv6 autoconfiguration.
53:
54: Default: not set, i.e. prefix can be used for autoconfiguration.
55:
56: @item
57: @var{router-address} - indicates to hosts on the local link that the specified
58: prefix
59: contains a complete IP address by setting R flag.
60:
61: Default: not set, i.e. hosts do not assume a complete IP address is placed.
