[j-nsp] JUNOS support for RFC 4193 : Unique Local IPv6 UnicastAddresses

[matthew johnson]

Hi Scott,

So I guess what you are saying is that in fact you have to manually
generate the prefix outside of the Juniper device and then advertise
statically in the CLI as opposed to allowing JUNOs to create the
prefix dynamically. The juniper router uses Neighbour discovery to
advertise the static prefix.

router-discovery {
interface interface-name {
min-advertisement-interval seconds;
max-advertisement-interval seconds;
lifetime seconds;
}
address address {
(advertise | ignore);
(broadcast | multicast);
(priority number | ineligible);
}
}

Thanks

Matt
