I was pulling my hair out on why one of my interfaces on a fresh Proxmox VE 7.2-1 install did not get a IPv6 SLAAC address, until I found out that IPv6 forwarding was enabled for that one interface. E.g.:
After setting this to 0 (as it should be), IPv6 SLAAC was working as expected.
Now, why (and where) is this set to 1 by default, and where can I turn off this behavior?
For reference, the relevant part in my /etc/network/interfaces is:
Code:
root@eos:~# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/vmbr0/forwarding
1
