You mean to say that you want your router to act as the default IPv6
gateway only advertising default route via RA and the IPv6 prefixes
are managed by other means such as DHCPv6 server? Because by its the
only way I can think of with your case now. You can specify
'pinfoflags' with 'l' in the /etc/rtadvd.conf to suppress the prefix
information option being advertised.
