IPv6 link-local addresses are assigned automatically by Linux, so if you want to drop them, you have to disable that in the Linux kernel.
If you want the link to be down, you probably need to make it ignored in the kernel args, as Talos can bring it up before the machine config is available. We don't have a way to express down link in the machine config at the moment.
Thanks for the answer.

Is this planned in a future talos release ? We will manage without for now, but just curious :)

yes
@WinterNis So this can be closed, and the link status config can be tracked or is tracked in another issue.
Bug Report
When
Ignore: true
in an interface configuration in the machine config some ipv6 local routes are created for these interface.Description
Here is the interface config:
Here is the
talosctl get links
output for the interface:192.168.71.60 network LinkStatus ens3f0 2 ether a0:88:c2:69:5e:4e up true
(Note that state is up)And here are the relevant routes for the interfaces using
talosctl get routes
Concerning
routespecs
, there is no relevant routespecs for this interface (which seems correct and expected since we did not configure the interface in the config).Also, IMHO interface should be disabled (state down) when using
ignore: true
, or we should have another way to completely disable the interface from the machine config.Logs
