If I disable NetworkManager and configure IPv6 SLAAC manually, just the dynamic default route is added: $ # NOTE: disabling NetworkManager disables ALL interfaces, not just those $ # controlled via NetworkManager $ # disable NetworkManager (same as deselecting "Enable Networking" in GUI) $ nmcli nm enable false $ ip -6 route show $ ip -6 addr show eth0 $ # enable SLAAC $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.forwarding=0 net.ipv6.conf.eth0.forwarding = 0 $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.autoconf=1 net.ipv6.conf.eth0.autoconf = 1 $ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_ra=1 net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_ra = 1 $ sudo ip link set dev eth0 up $ # wait a short time for SLAAC to finish... $ ip -6 addr show eth0 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qlen 1000 inet6 2001:638:208:cd00:XXX:XXff:feXX:XXXX/64 scope global dynamic valid_lft 2591989sec preferred_lft 604789sec inet6 fe80::XXX:XXff:feXX:XXXX/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever $ ip -6 route show 2001:638:208:cd00::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 expires 2592302sec fe80::/64 dev eth0 proto kernel metric 256 default via fe80::XXX:XXff:feXX:XXXX dev eth0 proto kernel metric 1024 expires 1778sec $ Tested on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
