[Bug 1643273] [NEW] doesn't get IPv6 address in dhclient.conf reject statement

[Olaf Rottler]

Public bug reported:

inserted in dhclient.conf

reject 192.168.201.5, fe80::c225:6ff:fec5:5ce9;

tried different notations :: :0: , Brackets around, additional mask ,
but everytimes I get

/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf line 21: expecting numeric value.
reject  192.168.201.5, fe80:
                        ^
/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf line 21: expecting ip-address or ip-address/prefixlen
reject  192.168.201.5, fe80:0000:c225:6ff:fec5:5ce9;

--------------------------------------------------------------
reason is to  get some adjustable load balancing between different dual stack Consumer Routers.
Every prefix is assigned dynamic, the static default route is assigned to the link local address and the client can't really decide which global interface source Ipv6 to use for the elected default route.
