Description
VirtualBox 6.1.30: "vboxmanage natnetwork" lacks of options to set IPv6 prefix and enable/disable router advertisements.
Example: vboxmanage natnetwork add --netname ISP-Alpha \
--network 172.31.255.0/24 \ --enable \ --dhcp no \ --ipv6 yes
"--network" only allows to configure the IPv4 network. There is no corresponding option for IPv6. It is only possible to turn IPv6 on/off, and the prefix gets configured automatically. Documentation about how the IPv6 prefix is computed is missing! (And there is a bug in this automatic configuration as well: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/20714)
DHCP can be enabled with "--dhcp", but there is no option to turn on ICMPv6 router advertisements and/or DHCPv6.
