From 5a1775178bfbaf3327df99998b60d1c48b2dad9d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "stijn@linux-ipv6.be" Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2023 22:30:40 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] router: improve RA logging We only set the RA lifetime to what is configured in UCI when there is a default route and valid prefix. In any other case, we set it to 0. This leads to confusion where people believe ra_lifetime is completely ignored. In case there is a default route, but no valid prefix, a debug message explains this, but if there is no default route, we silently override ra_lifetime. Add a debug message for the latter case, and explicitly mention overriding ra_lifetime in both cases.
