[pve-devel] [PATCH manager/network 0/3] add IPv6 SLAAC for vnets in evpn zones

[Hannes Laimer]

When we allow setting a ND prefix for the RAs to advertise, we could end
up with one that does not match the configured gateway one on a subnet.
We shouldn't allow setting the prefix explicitly, but just "enable
SLAAC" on a configured IPv6 subnet.

I'll send a v2 for this, sorry for the noise.
