[radvd-devel-l] Default Route Using RADVD

[nileshkumar daine]

Thanks for quick response !
Still am not clear.

Here is setup what I am trying,


        INTERNET 
            |
            |
            V
       ----------  2001:7a8:6d7a:4::4/64 (WAN)
       | ROUTER |
       ----------  2001:7a8:6d7a:c::4/64 (LAN)
            |
            |
            V
       ----------  2001:7a8:6d7a:c::6/64 
       | LAN 1  |
       ----------  

Now from LAN 1 machine, 
1 - ping6 to 2001:7a8:6d7a:c::4 (LAN of router) -
WORKS
2 - ping6 to 2001:7a8:6d7a:4::4 (WAN of router)- WORKS

   only when,route has been added manually on LAN 1
machine  using 2001:7a8:6d7a:c::4 as Next HOP ( even
without enabling 'forwarding' )

Help me to understand how can step 2 be made to WORK
without adding route manually ? i.e how can this be
achived using radvd ?

What should be radvd.conf on ROUTER and do we really
need to enable 'forwarding' on ROUTER ( afa I know if
we add route as mentioned above, actually 'forwarding'
doesn't make any sense. What do you think ?)
