Check Text (C-220146r604135_chk)

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone. Review the router configuration to verify Router Advertisements are suppressed on all external IPv6-enabled interfaces. If the router is not configured to suppress Router Advertisements on all external IPv6-enabled interfaces, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-21853r457766_fix)

Configure the router to suppress Router Advertisements on all external IPv6-enabled interfaces.
