Configuring IPv6
RA filtering
RA filtering increases the security of the IPv6 network by dropping RAs coming from wireless clients.
RA filtering prevents misconfigured or malicious IPv6 clients from connecting to the network, often
with a high priority that takes precedence over legitimate IPv6 routers. In all cases, the IPv6 RA is
dropped at some point, protecting other wireless devices and upstream wired network from malicious or
misconfigured IPv6 devices.
However, RA filtering is not supported in the uplink direction.
