Commit message

Documentation change: IPv6-enabled nodes no longer need route advertisements on the network. We configure the gateway statically.

Description of the change

I'm still running the experiment that this really works. If it doesn't, I'll either fix it or retract this branch.

Fixed. Probably not worth a "Needs Fixing" vote; that basically means "I want another look at this after you've fixed it, so don't land yet."

I do like to see that my reviewers are sharp though, and not just rubber-stamping my branches. :-)

8-MAAS relies on RAs to inform nodes about available routes on your IPv6 network,
9-even if you have configured a default gateway in MAAS. So, if you want IPv6
10-routing outside the local network for your nodes, make sure that routes are
11-being advertised. If your router does not provide RAs, another option is to
12-install and configure ``radvd`` somewhere on the network to advertise its
13-route.
14+MAAS configures your nodes' default IPv6 route to use the router configured on
15+the cluster interface, if you have one. If that is not what you want, or if
16+you have multiple routers, you may still want route advertisements configured
17+to make nodes obtain configuration over DHCPv6. If your router does not
18+provide RAs, another option is to install and configure ``radvd`` somewhere on
19+the network to advertise its route.
