Hi, In general, is it true that in IPv6 if a network interface is put down (e.g. 'ip link set ethX down') then the IP addresses and routes belonging to the interface should be removed? I use radvd and stateless addr autoconf to set up IP addresses on my IPv6 interfaces. I have one problem. With bnep (bluetooth) interfaces, when I put an interface "down" then even though the IP configuration is removed, it is set up again on the reception of RAs regardless of the state of the interface. Is this the correct behaviour for bnep? For wired and wlan interfaces it works correctly, that is, when the interface is "down" then no IP configuration is set up when receiving RAs. Should not we deny traffic reception completely on interfaces in down state.
