.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var3 }} {{ var5 }} {{ var6 }} ipv6 address autoconf :abbr:`SLAAC (Stateless Address Autoconfiguration)` :rfc:`4862`. IPv6 hosts can configure themselves automatically when connected to an IPv6 network using the Neighbor Discovery Protocol via :abbr:`ICMPv6 (Internet Control Message Protocol version 6)` router discovery messages. When first connected to a network, a host sends a link-local router solicitation multicast request for its configuration parameters; routers respond to such a request with a router advertisement packet that contains Internet Layer configuration parameters. .. note:: This method automatically disables IPv6 traffic forwarding on the interface in question. Example: .. code-block:: none set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var1 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var4 }} {{ var5 }} {{ var7 }} ipv6 address autoconf .. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var3 }} {{ var5 }} {{ var6 }} ipv6 address eui64 :abbr:`EUI-64 (64-Bit Extended Unique Identifier)` as specified in :rfc:`4291` allows a host to assign iteslf a unique 64-Bit IPv6 address. Example: .. code-block:: none set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var1 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var4 }} {{ var5 }} {{ var7 }} ipv6 address eui64 2001:db8:beef::/64 .. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var3 }} {{ var5 }} {{ var6 }} ipv6 address no-default-link-local Do not assign a link-local IPv6 address to this interface. Example: .. code-block:: none set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var1 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var4 }} {{ var5 }} {{ var7 }} ipv6 address no-default-link-local .. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var3 }} {{ var5 }} {{ var6 }} ipv6 disable-forwarding Configure interface-specific Host/Router behaviour. If set, the interface will switch to host mode and IPv6 forwarding will be disabled on this interface. Example: .. code-block:: none set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var1 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var4 }} {{ var5 }} {{ var7 }} ipv6 disable-forwarding .. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var3 }} {{ var5 }} {{ var6 }} ipv6 adjust-mss As Internet wide PMTU discovery rarely works, we sometimes need to clamp our TCP MSS value to a specific value. This is a field in the TCP options part of a SYN packet. By setting the MSS value, you are telling the remote side unequivocally 'do not try to send me packets bigger than this value'. .. note:: This command was introduced in VyOS 1.4 - it was previously called: ``set firewall options interface adjust-mss6 `` .. hint:: MSS value = MTU - 40 (IPv6 header) - 20 (TCP header), resulting in 1432 bytes on a 1492 byte MTU.
