Feature #1726
closedAllow disabling the "Autonomous address-configuration"
0%
Description
You should add a checkbox allowing to disable the "Autonomous address-configuration", setting the rtadvd option "pinfoflags" to 0 (or "") for the interface.
In my case, i need to disable this to keep the router advertisement but not to have autoconfigurated addresses or subnets delivered (because i have several different subnets linked to the same interface)

My thought was to add this as a choice from the drop down on the DHCP server page.
The config code currently does not take this flag into consideration which it really should.
Would a "Advertise router Only" in the dropdown do the trick? Unmanaged being autoconfig. Assisted is both and managed is DHCP6 only.

Added a "router" type that sends pinfoflags as being "". From the confusing documentation this might need to be "l" which is link but not autoconfig.
Needs testing.

Confirmed that my Macbook with 10.5 only has a link-local address when set to router-only. you can Still enable DHCP6 ofcourse. Some clients will start a client regardless from the bits set in the advertisement.
pfSense does this too, and it officially breaks the RFC that it should only start when the router advertisemnt says so. I can't care enough.
