From d5d32e4b76687f4df9ad3ba8d3702b7347f51fa6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Ahern Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2016 12:27:23 -0700 Subject: net: ipv6: Do not consider link state for nexthop validation Similar to IPv4, do not consider link state when validating next hops. Currently, if the link is down default routes can fail to insert: $ ip -6 ro add vrf blue default via 2100:2::64 dev eth2 RTNETLINK answers: No route to host With this patch the command succeeds.
