Installation on Ubuntu / Debian:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install radvd
A typical radvd configuration file /etc/radvd.conf
to advertise the prefix 2001:db8:2530:fa13::/64
for autoconfiguration on the network connected to the interface eth0
and to advertise the machine running radvd as a router for the local network (based on the routes on this host) would look like this:
interface eth0 { AdvSendAdvert on; AdvManagedFlag off; AdvOtherConfigFlag off; prefix 2001:db8:2530:fa13::/64 { AdvOnLink on; AdvAutonomous on; AdvRouterAddr off; }; };
