CentOS - Sep 2011 - ICMPv6 messages of type RS

Hallo,
 
as described by CISCO in 
http://www.cisco.com/web/about/ac123/ac147/archived_issues/ipj_7-2/ipv6_autoconfig.html
 
a router hast to send ICMPv6 messages of type RS to the all-router multicast
group: ff02::1 and ff02::2 for stateless autoconfiguration.
 
How can I activate this sending in CentOS?
 
Best regards
Helmut

I believe what you seek to enable is provided by the radvd, 
which is in the package of the same name.  We had to provide 
configuration to get it working properly on our direct 
assignment ipv6 block at PMman, and to take steps to filter 
out 'non-authoritative' advertisements from clients running 
the daemon on domU instances, to get it working as we 
expected, handing out the proper route information

We use this to do assignments both for our production 
networking, and also pass this through to client instances as 
a matter of default-enabled.  All the admin for a client domU 
needs to do is comment out a couple of lines and it 'just 
works'

For local network ipv6, simply enabling the 'avahi' services 
will suffice
