Comment 0 for bug 1836969

Brief Description
-----------------
IPv6 is not functional when configured on the management interface on a duplex direct system.
Because there is no carrier on the interface in the case of duplex-direct, dad can't complete, so the address stays in the tentative state, and cannot receive connections. That means that anything that tries connecting to the IPv6 mgmt address, including local services, will time out.

Severity
--------
Major - this precludes users from using IPv6 with duplex-direct configurations

Steps to Reproduce
------------------
Configure a duplex-direct system with IPv6

Expected Behavior
------------------
This config should work

Actual Behavior
----------------
This doesn't work. See explanation in the description.

Reproducibility
---------------
Reproducible

System Configuration
--------------------
Two node system connected as duplex-direct

Branch/Pull Time/Commit
-----------------------
Any stx load

Last Pass
---------
Never. This has always been broken.

Timestamp/Logs
--------------
Not required. Issue is reproducible.

Test Activity
-------------
Discussion with networking TL
