My summary of the above three postings * This is very annoying * not a bug but expected behaviour, use "IgnoreIfMissing on;" * can observe a likewise behaviour, in the meantime using the recommended fix
What manual page says, note twice "default" IgnoreIfMissing on|off A flag indicating whether or not the interface is ignored if it does not exist at start-up. By default, radvd exits. This is useful for dynamic interfaces which are not active when radvd starts or which are dynamically disabled and re-enabled during the time radvd runs. Current versions of radvd automatically try to re-enable interfaces. Enabling IgnoreIfMissing also quenches certain warnings in log messages relating to missing interfaces. Default: on Where I read the two defaults being in conflict, is it more important to read Current versions of radvd automatically try to re-enable interfaces. So this bug _might_ be fixed. \o/ Leaving it on open for several reasons. * Having a reference for https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=642808 which was open at the time of writing this triage update * maybe adding IgnoreIfMissing in the examples * the ambigues defaults in the manaul page Regards Geert Stappers
