- <listitem><para>Takes a boolean. Controls IPv6 Router Advertisement (RA) reception support for the interface.
- If true, RAs are accepted; if false, RAs are ignored, independently of the local forwarding state.
- If unset, the kernel's default is used, and RAs are accepted only when local forwarding
- is disabled for that interface. 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.</para>
