## Do not accept IPv6 router advertisements and solicitations. ## Do not accept IPv6 router advertisements (RAs) and solicitations.
## RAs are unsecured and unauthenticated and any device on the local link can send and accept them without verification.
## Malicious RAs can activate IPv6 connectivity on dormant hosts leading to unauthorized access.
## Flooding the network with malicious RAs can lead to denial of service attacks.
## Rogue RAs can lead to interception of all network traffic by setting the attacker's system as the default gateway.
