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

[Scott Morris]

Or the idea that you can manually configure your networks using that derived
address.  But essentially, the short answer is "yes".  :)

UnicastAddresses

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
