It's not necessary to create DHCP port or spawn dnsmasq process for such ipv6 subnets. Right now, the DHCP port is created and dnsmasq process is spawned (but not used). ra mode and address mode design: https://github.com/openstack/neutron-specs/blob/master/specs/juno/ipv6 -radvd-ra.rst To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1407573/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yahoo-eng-team Post to : yahoo-eng-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yahoo-eng-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
