Public bug reported:
The gateways/firewalls in our DC are highly available and when there is
a failover their IPv6 VIP (fe80::1) moves from the master to the backup
one.
We found that only our Bionic VMs behind those gateways had issues after
a failover. Those Bionic VMs were all running systemd-networkd (from
netplan) and before the failover they had:
$ ip -6 route
...
default via fe80::1 dev eth0 proto ra metric 1024 pref medium
But after a failover:
$ ip -6 route
...
default proto ra metric 1024
nexthop via fe80::1 dev eth0 weight 1
nexthop via fe80::210:18ff:febe:6750 dev eth0 weight 1
And after another failover:
$ ip -6 route
...
default proto ra metric 1024
nexthop via fe80::1 dev eth0 weight 1
nexthop via fe80::210:18ff:febe:6750 dev eth0 weight 1
nexthop via fe80::210:18ff:fe77:b558 dev eth0 weight 1
This is problematic as those then use fe80::210:18ff:fe77:b558%$IFACE as their
default gateway even when this gateway is unavailable:
$ ip -6 route get ::
:: from :: via fe80::210:18ff:fe77:b558 dev eth0 proto ra src
fe80::a800:ff:fe51:8c37 metric 1024 pref medium
We concluded it was a systemd-networkd bug after checking that the following
combinations were NOT affected:
1) Xenial+4.4 kernel
2) Xenial+4.15 kernel
3) Bionic+ifupdown
