<para>Takes a boolean. Controls IPv6 Router Advertisement (RA) reception support for the interface.
If true, RAs are accepted; if false, RAs are ignored. When RAs are accepted, they may trigger the
start of the DHCPv6 client if the relevant flags are set in the RA data, or if no routers are found
on the link. Defaults to false for bridge devices, when <varname>IPv6Forwarding=</varname>,

default. Cannot be enabled on devices aggregated in a bond device or when link-local addressing is

<para>This cannot be enabled on devices aggregated in a bond device, or when IPv6 link-local
addressing (see <varname>LinkLocalAddressing=</varname>) or multicasting (see
<varname>Multicast=</varname>) is disabled. Note, multicasting is disabled by default for some
configurations, e.g. bridge ports. Hence, in that case <varname>Multicast=</varname> needs to be
explicitly enabled to make this feature usable. When <varname>IPv6SendRA=</varname>,
<varname>IPv6Forwarding=</varname>, or <varname>IPMasquerade=</varname> is enabled, this feature is
disabled by default, but can be overridden by explicitly enabling this setting. Note,
<varname>IPv6Forwarding=</varname> may be indirectly enabled when the global setting with the same
name is enabled, or when <varname>IPMasquerade=</varname> is enabled on <emphasis>any other
interfaces</emphasis>. See also <varname>IPv6Forwarding=</varname> and
<varname>IPMasquerade=</varname> for more details. Enabled by default otherwise.</para>
<para>Further settings for the IPv6 RA support may be configured in the [IPv6AcceptRA]
section, see below.</para>
