🦋 SUPPORTED PARAMETERS 🦋

🌈 ipv6addr

The IPv6 address this RA will manage.

literally the whole point of this resource agent. it needs it, it wants it, it will not function without it. no default, no backup plan, just vibes and an address.

required, string, no default — required, so like, actually required bestie 😭

🌈 cidr_netmask

The netmask for the interface, in CIDR format. (ie, 24). The value of this parameter overwrites the value of _prefix_ of the ipv6addr parameter.

so if you set this one, it just fully takes over the prefix situation. it's giving main character energy 👑

optional, string, no default

🌈 nic

The base network interface on which the IPv6 address will be brought online.

that's the little highway your address is gonna live on 🛣️

optional, string, no default
