.`NetworkManager` now supports configuration of the `ns_ip6_target` option for bond interfaces
This enhancement allows setting the `arp_interval` option by specifying a maximum of 16 IPv6 addresses as monitoring peers in `NetworkManager` for configuration of the `ns_i6_target` option for bond interfaces. Previously, it was not possible to specify IPv6 monitoring peers in `NetworkManager`. With this update, you can configure the `ns_ip6_target` option in the `bond.options` parameter by using the `nmcli` utility. `NetworkManager` applies this setting to the bond interface by enabling the specification of a maximum of 16 IPv6 addresses. This enhancement equally applies to IPv4 and IPv6 settings.

I didn't know ns_ip6_target could satisfy that condition too. Let me fix it, it is simple. Thanks! FYI, it works now: # rpm -q NetworkManager NetworkManager-1.43.6-1.el9.x86_64 # nmcli con add type bond ifname bond0 bond.options "mode=active-backup,arp_interval=200,arp_missed_max=15,ns_ip6_target=fe80::210:18ff:feaa:bbcc" Connection 'bond-bond0' (37c4fae6-5255-4acc-9882-2bd16c77d4ab) successfully added. # nmcli con show bond-bond0 | grep "bond.options" bond.options: mode=active-backup,arp_interval=200,arp_missed_max=15,ns_ip6_target=fe80::210:18ff:feaa:bbcc Thanks Hangbin Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

Description of problem: Please help add bond new option ns_ip6_target for NM. Here is the kernel doc[1] ns_ip6_target Specifies the IPv6 addresses to use as IPv6 monitoring peers when arp_interval is > 0. These are the targets of the NS request sent to determine the health of the link to the targets. Specify these values in ffff:ffff::ffff:ffff format. Multiple IPv6 addresses must be separated by a comma. At least one IPv6 address must be given for NS/NA monitoring to function. The maximum number of targets that can be specified is 16. The default value is no IPv6 addresses. And kernel commit [2], iproute2 commit [3] for reference.
