Hi All,
In FreeBSD we have the "ndp -p" and "ndp -r" to display the Prefixes
and the default router entries learned from Router Advertisements.

Is there an equivalent command in Linux?

I tried "ip neighbor" but that doesn't display the entries related to RA.

Maybe "ip -6 route" has (some of) what you're looking for?

Thanks Povl.

In the "ip neighbor" output, I see entries listed with "router". Maybe it
is a RA Default router learnt entry.

Nope. That's the 'router' flag in the neigbour advertisment. Lots of
systems will set this flag without sending RAs. Linux will set it if
forwarding is enable on the interface where the NA is going out.

From net/ipv6/addrconf.c:

/* send unsolicited NA if enabled */
if (send_na &&
(ifp->idev->cnf.ndisc_notify ||
dev_net(dev)->ipv6.devconf_all->ndisc_notify)) {
ndisc_send_na(dev, &in6addr_linklocal_allnodes, &ifp->addr,
/*router=*/ !!ifp->idev->cnf.forwarding,
/*solicited=*/ false, /*override=*/ true,
/*inc_opt=*/ true);
}

Thanks, Bjorn for the response.

The R flag is set in the NA as the sender is a router.
