The router advertisement daemon (radvd) is run by Linux or BSD systems
|
2010-05-13 00:38:08 +02:00
|
|
|
acting as IPv6 routers. It sends Router Advertisement messages, specified
|
|
|
|
|
by RFC 2461, to a local Ethernet LAN periodically and when requested by a
|
|
|
|
|
node sending a Router Solicitation message. These messages are required
|
|
|
|
|
for IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration.

Radvd is dependant upon IPv6 support in the Linux Kernel; this comes enabled
|
2013-06-03 07:02:02 +02:00
|
|
|
by default with Slackware 14's generic and huge kernels. To enable IPv6
|
2010-05-13 00:38:08 +02:00
|
|
|
support manually, you must set the following entry in your custom kernel's
|
|
|
|
|
.config file and recompile: CONFIG_IPV6=m

|
|
|
Once the slackware package is installed, edit /etc/radvd.conf to reflect
|
|
|
|
|
your current IPv6 configuration. An init script has been provided at
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.radvd. To have this start upon each boot, add the following
|
|
|
|
|
lines to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file:
|
|
|
|
|
## Start the radvd daemon:
|
2010-05-11 20:01:42 +02:00
|
|
|
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.radvd ]; then
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.radvd start
|
|
|
|
|
fi
