ifconfig: T2863: only use IPv6 link-local address if interface has MAC address
With VyOS 1.2 the default WireGuard behavior is used. This means that when a
WireGuard interface is added to the system, there is no "MAC" address - also
there is no IPv6 link-local address assigned by the Kernel to this particular
interface.
With implementation of T2653 all interfaces now receive an IPv6 address - which
is also valid for WireGuard interfaces - unfortunately this logic relies on the
interface MAC address - and as there is none, the link-local address will be
always the same. The logic behind is coded here [1].
We generate an IPv6 link-local address even when there is no "MAC" address. The
behavior/functionality (as with VyOS 1.2) must be restored to not have a
link-local IPv6 address at all. Any user can add any IPv6 link-local address
manually by issuing: set interfaces wireguard wg01 address fe80::ff:1/64.
Change vyos.ifconfig.add_ipv6_eui64_address to only add the EUI64-based
link-local address if a MAC address is available.
