Perhaps I was a bit unclear about this. What I mean, is that in the active-backup mode, the method of finding whether or not a link is active, is to send an ARP request to some machine, in my case, the gateway. This won't work with an IPv6-only configuration, since there's no ARP there, only ND. For active-backup mode to work in IPv6, there needs to be added an ND mode, replacing or supplementing ARP.

Vennlige hilsener / Best regards

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med xenotyp etymologi. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.
