From 6e40d0e458edf9c7227a31db72633f7069b07d76 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Henrie Date: Fri, 6 May 2022 14:01:53 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] network: clarify the relationship between DHCP= and WithoutRA= Just setting DHCP=ipv6 is not enough to get DHCPv6 working without RA. The WithoutRA option must also be changed from its default of "no". --- man/systemd.network.xml | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/man/systemd.network.xml b/man/systemd.network.xml index ac8cd1342d7..c2ce1b1d694 100644 --- a/man/systemd.network.xml +++ b/man/systemd.network.xml @@ -328,9 +328,10 @@ no.
