[c-nsp] IOS 15.0 ipv6-related weirdness (fails to fallback to ipv4)

[Michael Ulitskiy]

Heh.

c2800#sh ipv6 interface                      
VoIP-Null0 is up, line protocol is up
  IPv6 is enabled, link-local address is FE80::226:99FF:FED0:1290 
  No Virtual link-local address(es):
  No global unicast address is configured
  Joined group address(es):
    FF02::1
    FF02::1:FFD0:1290
  MTU is 1500 bytes
  ICMP error messages limited to one every 100 milliseconds
  ICMP redirects are enabled
  ICMP unreachables are sent
  ND DAD is not supported
  ND reachable time is 30000 milliseconds (using 30000)

Don't see any way to disable it. Can't even find any description what it is, but obviously it's
voip-related and this router is indeed sip gateway.
Now I have to make sure that sip servers it's talking to don't publish AAAA, until I manage
to upgrade to something that has it fixed.
Thanks for the hint,

Michael Ulitskiy
