CDRouter expects the WAN interface to block PINGs. How can I change this default behavior?
IPv6
By default, CDRouter will expect a DUT to drop ICMPv6 Echo Requests (PING) sent to its WAN interface. This behavior can be changed simply by setting the following testvar:
testvar ipv6WanPingRespond yes
Once set to yes, CDRouter will expect the DUT to send ICMPv6 Echo Replies on the WAN interface.
